    So i just changed out my passenger mirror, simplest task ever right? 3 bolts, unplug it, plug in the new one, and tighten bolts, easy as pie, well i done this and when i turned my truck back on, neither of my power mirrors work, my radio doesnt work, half my dash lights dont work, one power outlet doesnt work, and the lights in the passenger door dont work, i checked every fuse in the truck that i know exists and all of them are good and as far as i can tell none of my wires are exposed or anything of that nature, does anyone know whats wrong with this?

    found out the problem, it was dark outside and one of the fuses was blown right down near the bottom left corner where i could barely see it, replaced it and everythings all good now
