In the process of changing clearance lights to LED sealed units. Back of the coach went fairly smooth except for one loose rivnut. Rather than remove and replace I stuck it down with JBWeld. Got five bright red lights......
When I removed the non-functioning front passenger side light, I found the ground wire attached to the light, but detatched from the inside wire loom - I got a short red pigtail with a male side connector attached.
So, is there a chance I can fish out the other side of the ground wire through the 1/2 inch hole in the roof?
Is there a good way to fish a new wire across to the next light and piggyback a ground?
Am I at the ugly point of having to drop headliner to reconnect that ground?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I ran into this doing the rear clearance lights. I think when they were assembling, the wiring was in and the exterior lights on before they sprayed the insulation. Consequently the wires are adhered to the body under the foam. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to fish the wires with no luck. I was able to quite easily bring a wire from an adjacent light with a coat hanger.
