Rear blinker, coupe of lights, 12 volt interior outlet. I tested each fuse and pulled the ones out. No fuses are blown.

I checked and tested my battery terminals which they are fine.

Cannot find the problem

Good afternoon,

Can you give me the fuse numbers that have no power so I can see where the voltage originates?

No, I tested them both with engine running and key on ignition/acc.

I attached the fuses and power sources. All these fuses are fed from the ignition switch.

That's very strange I have no cranking problems.

So Roy let me give you a little back round that started this problem.

I was preforming a repair on my fuel injector, I disconnected the neg battery terminal when I was doing the repair. Made sure it wasn't touching anything aka the frame or body. Pulled it all apart intake manifold, injectors properly disconnected all harnesses. Put it all back together when I was putting it together I noticed the neg battery terminal was all corroded. So I cut the wires and installed clamp style terminals. Started the truck up my repair looked good. I noticed my radio wasn't going on so I checked the ground cable. The battery terminals I bought were bad. So I ordered a better set on online with ring terminals. Trucks ground wire fixed. All good. Started driving the truck and noticed my right blinder went out than came back on for a couple of hours. Than went back out. So that's when I checked all the fuses and found no power to these fuses.

If you were myself, where would you start looking for the problem?

Should I open up the column and put a multi meter on the ignition switch? But I do know there is power because the truck starts.

Power to all those fuses come from the switch. If the switch is good, then I would suspect the fuse block itself.

Why it happened, I do not now as I am not there to check it myself.

Okay, I'll see if switching out the fuse box works. Could it be a possibility that the grounds are bad?

But I do know if the grounds were bad it would probably pop the fuses.

No to ground. This is a power feed issue
