This situation is all too real CT_Nismo. Trust me on that one.

So I got the owner of the dealership involved, and instead of making me pay $350 for a tail light assembly I could fix myself (that goes for $140, by the way) they are taking one from another truck to test their theory. I expect to hear from them later today. As an aside, when I asked the owner if he thought that a cracked tail light was enough to disable a truck, he said that he'd seen stranger things happen. Not very reassuring. The owner seems reasonable so we'll see what happens.

Also, they told me that not only was the ECU fried, but I think they said the Body Control Module (BCM). I don't know what that is, but for both of those to fail from a broken tail light makes this even crazier.
