Ha ha ha! I found it...

Man, I'm so glad I have the Dodge manual for my truck... I (like an idiot) shorted my cab lights out, and because the Marine Corps put millions into me to be able to read a wiring schematic, I figured it out. It's amazing how well that dealer pub works!

Stupid me, I was multi tasking while I was fixing a cab light problem, (connector was loose), I crimped it too tight, not thinking while I was on the phone and looking at my beautiful wife, I stuck a screwdriver in the connector to open it up a bit... while I had the lights on... IDIOT!!! I guess the fuse was good enough to let my multimeter read resistance, but not enough to find 12v.



Just sharing a victory. Nothing major, don't flame me for being stupid to begin with. (a little good nature ribbing is allowed!)


MAD!!!

Alright Captain, let me see if I got this straight. You want the radar to light up and the little sweepy thingy to go back and forth.......at the same time?????

Just be lucky you don't have the TIPM (totally integrated power module).

Steven Hawkings would have his hands full trouble shooting that mess....
