Several electrical devices stopped at once. horn,radio,dome light,cigarette lighter, rear hatch release. No fuses are blown. (not that my old eyes can see) Any thoughts on what might be a common denominator? Thanks for any help! Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) _____________________________ Never to old to have fun!

Have you checked it with a DMM or test light to assure that there is a good ground connection? _____________________________ VOTE for Ride Of The Month!!! PM me for a custom sig or avatar!

The fuse for these things should be powered at all times, so see if there is power going to the fuse. If there is then your looking for a common point(splice pack) after the fuse. If not, you will have a break or corrosion between the fuse and the battery. (in reply to EuroGoldLS) Post #: 3

I thought about that as well but I was thinking that all of those things had seperate ground wires. Would this still be the case if some of the fuse block is still functional? The orange wire under the carpet, is that the ground wire? Thanks guys! Adam Attachment (2) _____________________________ It's 4wd for a reason... (in reply to GMguy4life) Post #: 6
