What's the deal with the explosive device? Can i just get a generic terminal and put on amd leave the two black wires unhooked?
Good day!!

Well, I can't positively say an aftermarket terminal would work... However, I would find a real replacement part... I think the used trucks would have what you need if it wasn't already involved in an accident... I'll see if there is one at the pull-it-yard the next time I'm there... At over $300 from the dealer, I would go with used...

Cheers!!!
