...And now my dash lights don't work. Everything that the manual says runs through the #11 fuse doesn't work, but the fuse is not busted.

Any ideas?

 

undo the mod and see if it works..if so double check what you did

 

Check fuse 33 in the underhood fuse box. That is what powers the nighttime dash illumination. It also powers the corner markers where you were doing the mod.

 

The corner markers still work, infact the Mod works great. But I'm gonna go check it now. Thanks guys

 

Fixed er. I'm a big idiot. After I did the mod I decided to clean the inside the truck even tho it was -8 outside. But ya I hit the dimmer switch all the way down while I was cleaning it. DOH! ah well nothing better then a quick easy solution, haha. Thanks for the replies guys!

 

yea a fuse is the only logical explination so check 33 like bob said

 

Simple fixes are the best!

 

and whats the lesson of the day???

Never clean the inside of the truck! lol.. good to see it wasn't anything bad

 

If only I could live with a messy, dirty truck!

I was so releived that it wasn't anything major.

 

My dimmer switch likes to black out my dash all the time...drives me nuts. One minute, i've got my lites full bore, the next...black! crazy stuff. Glad you like the mod.

 

hey guys, where can i find this mod/how to??? and what is it for?

lol, pretty funny but atleast you got it solved.

 

alright... i need help, lol.


i followed the how-to posted above.. but didnt notice that he disconnected the black wire at the corner and put the jumper wire in place.. i simply connected the jumper and left the black as is... welll, yeah, something went wrong, lol. i have no turn signals or 4 ways (go figure). all bulbs still light up when the headlights are on, but nothing will blink. is it the relay? if so.. where's it at, and what should i get to fix it/replace it? thanks!

 

Try that. And what some others said above that, reverse what you did and see if that helps.

 

i know exactly what i did wrong, and it's already been fixed/taken care of. i just wasn't sure of which fuse to replace.. or if it was going to be a relay, or what.. but thanks for finding bob's post, ill go check that now.

 

K, Good luck.

 

i don't have a fuse in 33, lol (im guessing it's different for my 01). anyways... i checked every mini fuse in the underhood box, and none of them looked bad.

 

Underhood box? I don't know if thats different but the one in your dash. Open your drivers door and right there on the side of the dash thats parrell with your side mirror. Check that one.

 

yes the under hood box, in the engine bay. i figured that's the one Bob was talking about since he mentions it in that quote you posted.

im about to go look at the fuse box inside the truck, but first gotta find out what fuses are what. i don't have a manual so i'm tryin to look around on here right now, lol. i may just do the same thing i just did to the other fuse box and just pull all of them and check them all. first ill look around on here for a few mins though.

 

alright i found a link for an owner's manual.. im gonna go check fuse 21 inside the cab.. hopefully one of them is blown, lol.


EDIT: SUCCESS!!!!! lol... fuse 21 inside the cab was blown. now to find a 15amp mini fuse in the garage somewhere....
