    Hi gang, I recently had my wiring harness replaced at the dealer and I found this screw in my driver door pocket. I'm assuming it's supposed to be somewhere.

    Has anyone come across one of these, so I can get some pointers where to look? Thanks gang!

    Which wiring harness?
    If for headlights, check the top of the grille and see if all screws were put back.

    That looks like a seat track bolt?

    That bolt is used all over the truck. It most likely is for a clamp somewhere along the harness.

    I'll check out those places. Let's hope this and the loose manifold clamp were the only things they forgot to tighten.

    You need to ask the dealer and tech who did the work...they put it there.
