Dead Radio, dome lights, clock- FOUND CULPRIT- SHORT PIN

Hi everyone,
I've been poking around this forum for a while, gathering information about the problem I'm having. There have been several threads on this- so here's another.

After checking and rechecking every fuse, changing to a new battery- I found to solution to the dead radio, dome lights, and clock.

The crazy thing about my problem is that when I would hit a bump sometimes- everything starts working again. Once again I was checking the fuse box in the engine compartment and my finger grazed the "short pin" part 82824-20140- and the dome lights turned on. If I wiggle around the pin, everything turns on. I have a connectivity issue with that pin. I'm thinking of using a wire and just connecting it without the pin.

I hope this helps someone- I found it by chance. Thanks

 

Congrats on finding the culprit. Those small victories are important, as other truck issues are more problematic to solve.

 

Welcome to the forum. Nice catch.
