so you were playing with a fuse while you had a wire in your hand........im nut sure im following.

reguardless, you prolly just blew another fuse when you shorted out whatever circuit you were dicking with.

check every fuse with a test light at both junction blocks. in the cab and under the hood.

your right i had the fuse in one hand and wire in another. i checked all the fuses in the cab and under the hood. i pulled them all out and they looked fine

Maybe if you post this thread in a few more places you'll find the answer. LOL

Looking at a fuse don't cut it... check it with a test light.

make extra sure to double check that you dont have a loose nut behind the wheel. that can cause all kinds of havok like you're describing.

[nothinggreatmjt]
