I see. Check all your cables and connections like others have mentioned. If you find anything let us know

May be something in the ignition switch wiring. There's lots of wiring harness under the dash and plenty of places for it to get in a bind or rub or touch something it shouldn't. Especially if the vehicle has been worked on much under there, like a car alarm being installed.
Good luck!

Post here if you have a simple question. This will help keep track of common info and reduce clutter.

I’m wondering what the best setup for speakers is since the previous owners removed the door and pillar speakers. Looking at a center console replacement or box setup for my single cab?

While driving...the only cutout I've noticed is engine power. It's only lasted one second. Noticed on the freeway in a pothole. And its happened a few times when I've slammed the driver door shut.

The best solution is to chop off those side post terminals and put a top post battery in it. I don't tolerate side post batteries any more.

Stupidest question of the day: 93 k1500 taillights work in the day but not at night fuses are all good not sure if there’s some kind of sensor I need to replace

Mike... not at all stupid... could be very helpful to me to think on your situation, as I'm getting around to figuring out why my park-fuse blows sometimes (rear running lights, instrument cluster lights etc.)


I've put in a PICO brand "re-settable" fuse which is brilliant...
I will be interested in what replies you might get... if I understand you correctly you tailinghts don't work at night? That's something I've never heard of, though my gut says to stay interested in your comment. I'll check back soon i hope. just a short not here. You ARE saying that the rear running lights don't work after dark... wow. weird and super-interesting. Sorry you're having that problem of course.

Highly appreciate you response yes that is correct my taillights and 3rd light work only in the daylight I have no clue why

The taillight/brake bulbs have two lighting elements, each on a different circuit, but with a common ground. Check your bulbs to see if one of the elements has broken and laid over on the other. Having your taillights on will backfeed the brake light circuit and pressing the brakes won't make any difference because there's already current there.

At the same time, during the day when you press your brake pedal, all your parking lights will light up.

Where is the module or ecu located for remote keyless entry? My door locks are going haywire.
