GL1500
I'm Awesome
1997 C1500 5.7 Silverado. Yesterday I lost running lights, chime, dash lights etc. Got home from work and found fuse #14 (Cluster, Comfort Controls, Instrument Switches, Radio Illumination, Chime Module) had no power on either side.
Checked further and found fuse #9 had blown (License/Parking lamps, taillamps, door switch illum., headlamp switch illum etc.).
I replaced fuse #9 and all was good last night. It's been really wet/rainy here so I figured I might have some moisture in the trailer hitch wiring harness. This morning while driving the fuse blew again so I removed and unplugged the taillights, trailer wiring harness and it's still blowing the fuse. Checked under the dash and no obvious problems. The only added wires are for the brake control and tranny temp gauge and those appear to be done well.
I removed fuse #14 and and fuse #9 still blows. I think I'm still looking at exterior lights but not sure how this system works and I don't have a wiring diagram. Does Fuse #9 feed power to the headlight switch, which feeds power to the lights via fuse #14? I don't think it's related to the problem since the #9 fuse still blows after #14 is removed. Just trying to understand.
So I'm still guessing it's wiring/socket related but also wondering about the headlight switch. Is there a way to test it other than replacing it?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Steve
