Hey took the leads of my battery to wire some lights in and now the “serv 4wd”, traction control, no airbags. Lights have come one and my heated/cool seats stopped working. Is there a fix for this or do I just have to wait it out?
thanks in advance

Remove what you wired in, and see if that fixes it..... The electrical on these trucks is amazingly sensitive....

I will try that tomorrow I didn’t think it would be that sensitive but who knows. Instead of putting it right at the battery could I put it at the fuse box instead?

If you only drew power from the battery.... that really shouldn't be a problem. Maybe the ground side is the issue? Did you disturb anything else while you were in there?

That shouldn't cause any problems then.... Gotta be something else going on.

Well I didn’t think so, I just assumed that I disconnected the battery and from experience a couple lights come one because the computer doesn’t read it. It there a way to “flash” he computer to tell it everything is working?

On that, I don't know..... One would think it would figure it out fairly quickly.... Think I would look for some commonality in those systems, (power? ground?) and make sure everything is up to snuff. Plugging in a scanner, and seeing what they are all whining about wouldn't hurt either.

Ya I’ll have to disconnect and reconnect the battery and check grounds. I would definitely put a scanner on it if I had one. I forgot to mention that while I was driving to work I drive down a pretty bad road with a lot of pot holes and I hit one and the battery light came on and the radio shut off. I don’t know if that is part of the problem but hopefully it’s not to serious
