Wiring Issues

So while parking my flat bed trl. My truck just dies. After a few minutes it started back but now the heater blower motor doesn't work and the power windows don't work. Also when I try the heater and/or windows the water in fuel and the wait to start light comes on. Looking for ideas on where to start trouble shooting

If the fuses are all good then you may have burned your fusible link which powers the heater blower and the electric widows.

Where would I find the fusible link? I know of the one on the driver side inner fender. Is it part of that or somewhere else?

yep, it comes from the Battery to a splitter. Out of the splitter they are fusible links and there are four of them I think. they connect to more the four wires powering the truck. The FL's are pretty short about 4-6 inches then back to wires. Check the Sticky's for fusible link replacement there is a pretty good picture of what is there.

This should help track things down.

Check the back of the fuse panel for burns/melted wires at those circuits. Also, I have seen two different 93's with burned wires in the steering column related to those circuits, pink and black wire and I think the other is orange . Check the connectors there also.

Found the problem. It was one of the orange fuse links coming off the splitter on the driver side inner fender.
Thanks everyone for all your help
