Hello Everyone, new to the forum and I'm having an issue with my '97 (supercab, 4wd, 4.0, 5 speed)
I'm having an issue that is triggered by any of the following:
Turning headlight switch to turn headlights on (headlights only, not markers)
Flashing headlights, without headlight switch on, from the multifunction switch
Turning blower motor on
When I do any of the above, the radio/instrument cluster/heater controls lights go out, blower motor doesn't work, both blinker symbols light up on dash (solid, no flash) and rear blinker lights up (solid, no flash)
Park lamps still work, headlights still work, blinkers still work, hazards still work, etc.
I've tried a new multifunction switch, checked all fuses, tried operating the blower motor with both headlight and dimmer switch disconnected, etc, and no change.
Before this started I did remove two aftermarket gauges the PO installed (only connection to electrical system was jumper wires inserted in to backlight connector for heater controls). I also removed a switch/relay that was connected to a ground on one end and a single wire coming out of the relay under the glove box.
I'm stumped on this one so any help is appreciated.
