not sure with the o4's but them lights go on with or without the ignition.So there is a grounding problem somewhere. thats what i think. Check the grounding feed. Bunch of wires bolting to the frame either under the hood or under the dash.

it's only lights dude, they didn't flame on ya , so the problem is an easy fix. problem is body shop ******* blow everthing out of porportion. There'er looking at bottom line costs. **** like that. Find another body shop next time. but take them to court first. they'll fix it. At least send them a letter of intent first. If insurance refuses to pay, **** take them to court too. usually the'll set you right.

the fusebox might be bad, it has a circuit board and they get corroded sometimes
also get them to check the light switch

Not to stir you up anymore than you already are, but my question always comes down to, why does **** only happens to my truck when I'm not standing there when they are working on it. It is just hard to get anything done right, what can I say....

did you ever figure out what was going on? I would have refused to take it back until it was fixed. If they wont fix it, then call your insurance company and tell them or your lawyer. You can **** around with shops like that or they will take advantage of your patience until its too late to do something.
