Was changing my interior lights when they quit working along with my radio and clock. I have checked all the interior fuses associated with the problem. Any ideas?

 

It sure does sound like a blown fuse. I would check all the fuses both inside and out even if you don't think they are part of the problem.

 

I looked over the fuses under the hood and didn't see anything under there. I am at a loss here. I need my radio.

 

You may be doing this already but I'm going to put it out there anyway. Sometimes it can be hard to see a bad fuse by looking at it. The best, fastest, and most accurate way to test all the fuses is with a test light. The test light will not lie. If all the fuse are confirmed good with a test light then I'm at a loss.

 

I have a few that don't light up, I know some are used but I am going to change them out. They don't look bad but like you said a test light don't lie. I am going to the beach this afternoon and I need me some tunes and lights.

 

Some fuses under the dash will not light up if the key is not in the on position, the headlight fuse will only come on with the headlights on, the high beam only when the high beams are on, and so on. When you find a fuses you think does not work, look up what the fuse goes to and make sure it is in the on position.

 

I changed every fuse that did not light up just in case and still nothing. Could it possibly be a relay? I am at a loss, I need my tunes and interior lights at the beach. I just don't get it and I getting pissed over it. I have been trying to trace this for 4 hours, two hours last night and two hours this morning.

 

I really appreciate your help Jared.

 

Did you check the fusible links under the hood also? (Those are the big looking fuses in the engine fuse box next to the regular fuses.)

You can try the relays. Just take one of the known working relays (like the fuel pump) and pull out one at a time and replace it and try the radio. (I think the relay for the radio is the Aux relay R7 under the hood)

I was looking in the rave diagram and it shows a "fusible link" somewhere before the fuse. I would try and track that little guy down.(I think links 1 & 7 are related to sending power to the radio)

Also, in the color wiring diagram it shows several fuses and links that are tied into the audio system. It may help you narrow down the specific ones to focus closer one.

Did you have power at fuse 16 inside the truck?
It looks like the power runs like this: Battery>Link 1 (150amp)>Link 7(30amp)>relay R7>fuse 16 inside> radio
If you don't have power at fuse 16 inside then start working your way backwards toward the battery to find the problem. If you have power at fuse 16 then your problem is somewhere between the fuse and radio.

 

Did you change to LED lights?
Pull them all out.
Put in the old lamps and start over.
one of those LED lights is probably shorted.
As they are mass produced in China for profit not quality.
