    Got the truck fixed. One little fuse fucked everything up. Everything is good now. Grandpa has several cars in the shop so he didnt have space to install the kings, but I left the coilovers with him so he could put the new coils on and I’ll install them early next week.

    That's why disconnecting the battery or separating the circuit your working on from a power source will prevent surges. It's good practice. What I do is I disconnect (turn off) my circuit breaker (all my aftermarket electronics or separated from the factory wiring by the circuit breaker) while I work on my aftermarket wiring.

    Thing is I wasn’t even working on anything electrical. I always disconnect the battery when I do anything electrical. Just bad luck this time I guess.

    Maybe. Fuses don't blow for no reason, though. Hopefully, it doesn't blow again. Double Check the connections on that circuit, just in case.

    Well it blew because I accidentally pulled a wire out of a fuse tap when pulling off the lower panel under the steering wheel and that hot wire grounded out on a bolt. Sure enough, that fuse tap had the blown fuse. The fuse was for the IGN which controls everything, explaining why everything was fucked

    That'll do it. :thumbsup:

    I'm guessing you probably put that in your help thread, but I didn't go there. :anonymous:

    I did lol. Very glad it was something so simple and easy instead of a fried ECU or harness.
