Recently after repairs to the hood and fender where a tree fell on it, certain parts of the electrical have stopped working. The radio, the power mirrors, the cargo light, dome light, and the 2 accessory lights. Do not work.I have checked all the fuses and there is current running to them as well. Any ideas? Possible short or ground that is not attached? Any wiring diagrams would be great

Ok I can't include wiring diagrams because they won't come out good you wont' be able to read them. However I have ask what side of the truck did the tree fall on? If it was the left or drivers side then check the for good grounds on the fender. This side is where the ground is for the radio. Now the dome light and radio share fuse 12 in the fuse box inside the truck. Which accessory lights quit working? I will look over the wiring diagrams and give you ground locations and fuses that are shared and wire colors for what ever you need that I can find. So get back to me with you find and what you might need.

Yes it was the drivers side, I have checked the grounds and ground loom, I tested them and there is power to the whole loom, also I have put the interior back as I had to rewire the radio (previous owner did not do so well) the dome light, reading lights, and cargo light also do not work, as well as the power mirrors. Any more help would be great, I am stumped

thanks
