    ...make that 6 cold miserable months.
    Okay, I removed all the insulation I had behind the top front cabinets to get access to the non-working running lights there, definitely no +12v hitting that string. I was able to see that the black wire from the electrical bay would break continuity when the "Truck Flasher" button was pressed, so that gave me confidence that the problem wasn't in my wire-patching, at least not directly.
    Frankly I was out of ideas and time, so resigned myself to not having working front clearance lights and set out to finally re-assemble my dash. Not a huge issue in these parts since it's light out till 10pm into July, so actually driving in the dark is only a possibility in the fall.
    ...but wouldn't you know it. While I was vacuuming out the bottom of the dash area I stumbled across a connector with an exposed red wire .5 inch away from it, hiding under the other bundles! At some point my jostling of the wire bundle must have caused this wire to pull out of its pin crimp.  I repaired the crimp and my front clearance lights are working! 
    So that was dumb luck more than anything I did, but considering the hours that I spent trying to find the problem, I'll take it as a win!  🙂

    There should be a similar solenoid to dump the rear bags in the rear engine compartment.
    If neither are working I'd highly suspect an electrical problem between the switch on the dash and the air dump valves.
    Most likely the "Bag Dump" fuse in the outside electrical bay has blown, so check for that. On  my older rig it's in the outside bay under the driver's window.
    You should check your manual for the wiring diagram for the "Bag Dump" feature.
    Here's mine ('97 Dynasty) to give you an idea.
