    okay, well I might have messed up. Had a few too many road sodas and started wiring in my WiFi mirroring device that pairs up with the radio harness I got from @Hoangde. Well in my infinite wisdom, I just tapped into the back of the radio to supply 12v+ to the WiFi adapter, then grounded it to the head unit frame. I believe the 12v+ color was a pinkish beige-ish color. Even after aborting the whole mess (unplugging everything WiFi related but keeping the anytime backup stuff intact) I still have an airbag light, tpms light, DRL don't automatically come on (even after Ebrake) and headlights don't automatically shut off when u turn off / lock the truck that's all I've noticed so far. I've checked every fuse under the hood (spot check with a test light the confirm any abnormalities with a continuity check) and all seem to be working. I unplugged the battery for 5 mins and still same story. The only thing I'm hoping is that something got "tripped" while fiddling around and a couple of drive cycles will allow it to clear up. Another interesting anomaly is, when trying to connect an obd II reader to pull any codes, it wouldn't connect. Dear sweet baby Jesus please don't tell me I fried a pcm or bcm and high speed is down :fingerscrossed:. Help me get to the bottom of this you wizards. Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

    EDIT: AC is stuck on defrost. "AC" and "recirc" and can't be illuminated

    Oh god. I’m here for support, just not technical.

    I don’t have a wiring diagram, and I could never download that fsm to my phone

    so you tapped into the 12v on the back of the headunit, I follow that much. Then you mention that you grounded the wifi to the frame of what? the head unit? or somewhere else ( some sheet metal in the truck some where? )

    also, does the headuntit ( radio ) work now?
    does the truck start and drive?

    No drivability issues, still shits n gets @ WOT. The HU is attached to a U shaped frame by 6 or so 8mm bolts. I grounded to them.

    All I know is the truck computer monitor voltages in the electrical. Such as the led bulb problems and the turn as tail mod. They have had to use resistors of the proper ohms to correct electrical gremlins.

    Yap. Only reason why I'm hoping some drive cycles will clear it up

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    You said under the hood, but did you check the interior fuses?

    Is that a stock photo or does mpx-b hold some relevance? I have not checked all those yet.

    Yes, but apparently not well. Must be a combo of the Balvenie stretching its legs in my glass, the book I'm reading, and the posts I'm following. Sorry I missed it. :hattip:
