Hello,

The fuse panel has relays for the blower motor, accessory, ignition, window relay. Along with some other fuses. See attached diagrams for reference.
Is there a specific item you are trying to address?

Here is a relay testing procedure:

Thank you.

Hi, thanks. I wanted to know what are for those relays because I have problems starting the truck and I was checking any relay that give electricity to the dash board. Because when I try to start the engine any of the dash lights turn on and so the engine. When I turn the key and the dash lights turn on then the engine turn on and this problem isn't always is only some times that give that problem.

Just to clarify, when you turn the ignition, sometimes you will not have any lights on the dash and the engine will not start, right?

If so this can be a issue with the ignition switch. As overtime the pins on the switch gets worn and fails to connect when you turn the key.
Try this when it happens again, see if you can turn the light using the light switch.

That's right is just sometimes. I think if i'm not wrong that I can turn on the head lights when the dash lights don't turn on, but I have to check that tomorrow to be sure!

Okay, so if you can turn on the headlights when the key is inoperative, that will point to a possible bad ignition switch.

This is what I found. I think that one cable is kind of burned and you can see the plug I think is bad, but I started the truck a couple time and no problem, this is weird (and I upload a video when I turn the key).

Since you got at apart clean out the terminals. It is possible to have just a bad connection.

I clean it, and turn the key a lot of times and no problem, I hope it was just a dirty terminal.
Thanks!

Hi, today I have found the problem and fixed it! I think in some point the truck have an alarm or a shut off switch to prevent the truck from being stolen, and that was fine the problem was that when I buy the truck I think that they may remove the alarm but instead of doing it right they ripped off the cable and that (the cable on the pic) cable was burned and have oxidized.
I just cut of the bad part of the cable and put a new one!

You know we come across this many times.
Interestingly when the alarm system gets cut off in this nature, the issue with the vehicle varies. Some will have starting issues others will have issues with how the dash lights works and so on.

Glad you figured it out. Appreciate you sharing the information.
