| Hi guys, well it so happens that my buddy has the same year truck and he says that the plastic on the dash and the door plastic shrinks in extreme cold thus pulling the door switch away from the door. Go figure!!  Drilled a small hole in the plastic button and inserted a small screw to extend it, and voila.Thanks for the concern and the advice. Love this site. |
