ig1 and ig2 fuses

i need to replace these 2 fuses but being disabled i cant get under the dash to do it i called about 20 mechanics they waned anywhere from 75-105.00 to replace those fuses i also need a neg bat cable end put on the truck thats another 25.00 -75.00 to do an d they wont use my parts they told me they would buy the parts and charge me for them one even uses the same store that i got the fuses from but what i paid 1.5 cents for they want 1,25 for each gone are the days when you could stop at a shope and get help without being charged a arm in a leg they say that they cant warranty's my parts who in the hell warranty's a fuse or a bat end

 

Sorry Don, I’m not sure where you’re at but if you were close to northern AZ, I’d be happy to install them for you. I’ll bet there are others here
On TW that would also help you out if close enough.

Good luck!

 

thx in texas i will find some help even if its a school kid its not rocket science

 

Stop by a part store in the afternoon/evening when there not busy. More than likely they will do it for ya.

 

Where in Texas?

 

How have you determined that they're blown and what caused them to blow?

 

south of ft worth i think the person installing off road lights shorted the bat out and i blew the fuses i replaced the ones under the hood just cant get to the ones under the dash

 

@xGRIMEYx @Naveronski

Can either of you guys help this guy out?

 

Sure, I'm in the southside of Fort Worth, Where are you? Feel free to PM me.

 

Update: We isolated it to (at least I hope) the brake switch.

Also, OP did not murder me.

 

Well we’re happy to hear that you’re safe and props to you for helping a fellow forum member/Taco owner out!

 

he did all that he could and more than i asked him to great guy hope to be able to pay it forward now if i can just find a place to get the switch i guess i will be good to go ps i would have murdered him if i thought it would have fixed the problem im just about to that stage i think ive have done all there is to do except the switch many thx again

 

See. You just absolutely have to love this about people on here. Restores my faith in mankind to see responses like this.

 

he is a great guy im about 50 miles south of ft worth he drove out and did his best i ordered the switch so maybe he can come back and help me again i dont expect him to do it for nothing i get paid once a month and when my ck comes in im sending him something for his time and gas

 

got the part today now here hoping it takes care of the problem

 

Kudos to @Naveronski for helping a fellow TW brother out but I'm a tad confused on how a faulty brake switch has anything related to the original issues with the blown fuses caused by faulty offroad lights install? Not questioning the diagnosis but for my knowledge. Are the brake lights out and shifter locked in park?

 

yes the switch works the brake light and seems to control the shifting i dont think the fuses had anything to do with the switch gong bad just my luck i started replacing fuses first and have worked down to the switch

 

So did you get your offroad lights reinstalled properly? Did the installer reversed the +/- wiring or not use any relays? I would make the installer absorb the repair costs if it's from a bad install. Please update if the switch fixed your issues.

 

dont know yet as i ve cant get a hold of the member who helped me take the switch out

 

yes got the lights fixed so if i can get the switch in im good the new switch has a collar on it looks like its to adjust the switch but mine did not have the collar so im not sure if i need it or not
