Okay, I was putting in a new stereo, a wire slipped and grounded. I lost all the interior power . . . everything.

I checked the interior fusebox . . . one was blown. I replaced it. Still now power.

Is there a "master fuse" or link somewhere that I'm missing? ALL power on the inside is gone.

I have power and ground to the starter solenoid.

Hep!

What wire did you short out and which fuse was blown?

you may have burned a ground wire inside the cab too.

Okay, no laughing here.

Back in 1999 (roughly), I put in a secondary fuse box in the engine bay because I had so many "extras" to run. I forgot I had it . . . and blew a $0.35 fuse there.

Fixt . . .

And yeah, I've had the car forever . . . LOL!
