Default Corroded License Plate Light

The plug for one of the license plate lights on my 2001 Ranger Edge is completely corroded, so it looks like the entire wiring harness needs to be replaced. How big a job is that? Any tips?

Thanks for any help!

If, by "plug" you mean the socket where the bulb plugs in, well, you can get a replacement and just splice it in.

Why would you think that "it looks like the entire wiring harness needs to be replaced"? . . . I mean, that's a heck of a job.

Unless I'm reading your post incorrectly or possibly mis-interpreting what you're trying to say?

Clarification? Or pics? Those are worth a thousand words (each).

Yeah, it eventually dawned on me that I could splice a new socket onto the existing wires. Did that and it's working fine now. Thanks
