Hi ramustang,

Thank you for the donation.

Since so many items failed at the same ime, the most likely cause would be a blown fuse.

Check the power distribution center fuses # 19/20 ( 15 A ).

We have good news and bad news.

Good news ia we know where to start looking for.

Bad news is there are so many components using the fuse and any of them could be the culprit.

We would have to do the elimination process to locate the source.

Was anything done prior to this occuring?
Does the fuse blows immediately when a new one is installed or it blows only when a component is operated?

Nothing was done. The only thing I remember it that I broke the connector on the wood light that illuminates the engine compartment the same day that the fuse blow the firth time. Well, I replace the fuse Monday morning and melted Tuesday night. And came home immediately replace the fuse and that one melted immediately I put that sucker up.
