I had an electrical melt down under the TPMN/fuse box. I bought a few harnesses that needed to be replaced due to melted wires. I rewired everything I could visually see. I did a hard reset. I hooked up both positive and negative cables and reattached harnesses. I slightly turned the key and had power running throughout the car. Once I started to fully turn the key everything shut down, no power to anything. I bought a new battery and still have no power. Can anyone help me?

Hi,

If you lost power to everything, have you checked to make sure the battery terminals are both clean and tight? Also, for everything to have failed, there is a possibility the totally integrated power module (TIPM) has failed. It is under the hood. From the TIPM (under the hood fuse box), power runs to everything in the vehicle.

I attached a pic below. I need you to check for power at any of the fuses I highlighted. Here is a link you may find helpful:

When you check, first make sure the fuses are good. If they are, then you need to confirm there is power to them.

Let me know the results.

Joe
