You could probably get it a part I'm sure. Rather you get it back together is another story.

I would take the pigtail wrapping off and see if the wire is broken inside it. I would try and fix it are just add a ground wire to the fixture back to the frame of the truck. Nobody would ever see it. Worth a try. The wires inside the harness are all load wires no ground wire, the housing grounds the bulb back to the truck through the metal itself. I would bet you need to clean the metal attachment points good and it may work.

Something to try.
Take the housing and put a jumper on one of the wires to your + battery then ground the housing to the negative of the battery and see if it works. If so then it's just a bad ground issue where it mounts at.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
