The loose wire was in the steering column where it connects to the ignition switch. The 30amp. Fuse is under the hood in the power distribution block.

Do you have tilt-wheel by any chance? I found out (the hard way) that if my steering is all the way up, a selection of stuff stops working...... Seems the wiring harness may be just a tad too short....

Yes I have tilt-wheel. And I did see that. I cut the factory ties and moved them up. I was putting some led off road lights on two days before this and had the wheel all the way up. I think that's when things got loose.
