I guess wire insulation doesn't last forever. Might want to check your wires behind the headlights too! Headlight bucket wiring

I am guessing that many years of rocks and dirt circulating, being thrown up by the front tires- it just slowly chewed away at the insulation.
It's stuff like this that makes me glad that I took the entire truck apart!
