Hey guys, I’m struggling to get my truck running. I don’t even know where to begin… sigh
To start with, it’s an electrical issue & it’s been plaguing my truck for abt 2 years now & only getting worse. Right now I can’t even get it to run, just crank. When I turn my brights on, the windshield wipers go on too, full speed. While this is happening, the driver side high beam is completely dead.
So I replaced both the windshield wiper motor & the headlight harness & neither fixed the issue. The high beam bulb is good I can get it to come on if I give it direct power.
I did the trick with the test light where you bridge the neg cable & the neg post on the battery to see if you got a short & it lit up. Then I went to the fuse box & started pulling fuses one by one & when I remove the BAT fuse, light goes out.
Ok where getting somewhere… except now idk what to do.
I’ve replaced the fuse box already bc it had some bad looking burns on the bottom side. I’m 100% positive I did that correctly bc I took pics & moved wires over one at a time using a q tip to keep myself from forgetting which slot it came out of from the old one. & I even got the truck to start once after I was finished. But then I went to put it back onto the little plastic stand & something arced & the truck died again…
Ignition switch also replaced with one from an identical truck. I know that doesn’t mean it was good but it looked a lot better than the one I pulled from my truck did.
Sigh…
Someone pls help me my truck has been down for like a year now.
