    1990 454ss idler arm question

    right... I know that I can enter 1990 C1500 and get results but my question was around the 454ss version. They came stock with heavier springs, upgraded shocks, bigger sway bar. Is the idler arm the same as the normal C1500?

    Courtesy Fuse keep blowing

    Welp... I'm the idiot... I figured out what was happening. I used a screw to hold the dome light trim in place and that screw was coming in contact with the dome light assembly and shorting it out. I removed the screw and bam! all fixed. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Could it be the door jam switches? I replaced the driver's side but the passengers side is the original

    Courtesy Fuse keep blowing

    I found the issue by troubleshooting everything on that circuit... now I need to figure out how to fix it. The issue is with the Dome light assembly. Once I disconnect the dome light, the fuse works, the radio turns on... everything is fine. The moment I pop the dome light back in the fuse...
