Well i was drivin to school last week and my radio cut off, my dome lights wont turn on, and i cant adjust my mirrors. I was like WTF. I figured it was just a blown fuse, something simple. Well it turns out its not the fuses. Any one experience the same problems before, because i REALLY hate driving every where with out my radio. And whats weird is that my power windows still work, i can adjust my seat, and the instrument panel still works

any ideas?

 

I would start checking for a bad ground.

 

sorry its been a while since my last post. ok so i was looking at the wiring and noticed what i have a wire hanging down thats not connected.

This is the wire


This is where i traced one end to, but i have no idea where the other end hooks up to


hope this helps

 

little help

 

Ya' got me ... I don't have a connector there. I DO have a blue socket (4 blade IIRC) ABOVE the big white bolt on connector ... but it's empty.

 

any idea where i can get a wiring diagram?

 

Have you downloaded this: http://www.rm-indy.com/wavefiles/2001ramsrvcmanual.zip

yet? It's for an '01. I'm gonna' take a quick look at it right now to see if I can I.D. what it's for.

 

ill download it now i appreciate the help.

 

solved the problem. it was the I.O.D fuse which controls the radio, lights, power mirrors, and power locks. So a trip to advanced auto and a $3 pack of 10 amp fuses later every thing is working like it should. and that wire in the picture is for the seat belt seneor. It tells the computer weather the seat belt is buckled in or not, which explains why i can be unbuckled and the warning light be off.

 

i had that same issue! however, none of my fuses are blown. so i have a bad ground or short somewhere. i just ran a wire to a power source for my radio, adjust my mirrors by hand, and have flashlight handy in my center console for light lmao. whatever works i guess. whats that fuse you're talking about? is it located in the fuse box with the rest of them?
