Woohooo!  I tore into the dash late last night.  Removed the stereo bezel, unplugged the gem and 4x4 relays.  Started running wires.  4th wire I checked was the main acc into the gem.  PO had apparently been looking to tap into a acc hot wire, and used a wire probe to find one.  The probe had literally cut the wire in half!  I soldered it and shrink wrapped it.  Just for giggles I hooked the ground cable back to the battery, and I heard the door dinger and the dome light returned.  Crazy luck.  4x4 switch worked, the wipers ran, and I had no warning lights.  I drove the truck 50-60 miles to town and back.  Still don't have horn or CC, but I suspect the connector in the steering column.  To be determined.  The truck will not physically go into drive 1.  I take off in d2, and then place selector in OD.  Once rolling the trans shifts flawlessly.  Could the cable be out of adjustment?  Only code remains the cam sensor, which I will replace soon.  I actually can hear the 4x4 shift motor work.  I won't be able to really verify the 4x4 until I have D1.  D2 is just ok for flat terrain.  I'll keep this post updated as I find other fixes!
