I guess 7' is the standard height for the wash vendors?

I dont know what is the cause of the CPS failure but like with any electronics after a while they build up crud and start to act funny. If it was a wiper switch or even a headlight switch i would dismantle, clean and put back together and hope for the best... intermittent wipers and lights wont leave you stranded on the side of the road...a CPS that is going in and out will...
I would replace...its a common problem and i wouldnt want to be worrying that it is going to drop out and leave me stranded...The replacement isnt too expensive, I picked up mine locally at Napa for $70 (i was in a pinch...shop around).

I assure you I will be.
Truck still wouldn't restart yesterday when I got home from work. It's in ~7" of snow, and it really never stopped with some sort of precipitation all afternoon. Its supposed to be up to 40 for the next couple of days - so I'll let it sit n' dry out a bit. Hopefully it'll restart and be able to be driven into my garage... I can pull it with another truck but getting it up that last little bit into the garage is always a pain.
When I do it, I'll take pictures to whatever I find / do to fix the issue.

I've got a crank sensor on order and it'll be in first thing in the morning, just gotta go pick it up. Today, for laughs hoping that it might work after drying another day I went out and gave her another crank. No dice, looks like I'll be working in the snowbank tomorrow morn.
I figured I'd look at any codes it may have too, just for laughs. Plugged the scan gauge back in and while I was waiting, I noticed some oddity...
The temp gauge had moved, then fell to the floor and the light went on. I also noticed some buzzing from the cluster, sounded like the back left side of it... sounded like a relay... Also, the HDC light was on, and M & S were flashing...

This much nonsense strikes me like a bad ground... which may be involving why my obd2 port was on the fritz too? Perhaps all of this is just coincidental after my carwash experience?
Here's the codes that it spit up. One stored, one pending:
P1884 Stored
P1843 Pending
Any other thoughts with this new found information?
