Fuse Box Question

[jwdeeming]

Arghh! I did a dumb.



After successfully hooking up the ISSPRO Turbo Temp Monitor, I decided to button up for the night. I was putting the cover panel back on under the steering wheel area and ran a screw right through a hot wire. I had tapped it from the fuse box inside the cab and mistakenly pulled it from the wrong side of the spade, bypassing the fuse. There was a nice little pop, and that wonderful smell, and the cab lights went out.



The mystery is this: Now the cab lights, radio, and door locks don't work, however none of those fuses are blown. The instrument panel, electric windows, ignition, flashers, etc - basically everything else that is fused in that same box works fine.



In testing, the slots that don't work are definitely cold on both sides of the spade - the fuses aren't blown. My question is, is there some other fuse or junction box of some kind between the inside-cab fuse box and the battery? Or did I cook some of the slots inside the fuse panel and have a bigger problem on my hands?



Thanks in advance for any help/advice. I should have quit two hours ago and gone to bed!

Check the engine fuse box over the drivers side front wheel well. I don't recall which fuses are in there but some of them are 'masters' for the smaller link ups in the cab.

Mark,

Thanks for the reply. I did look in there last night and on a first look, nothing seemed out of order there, but I read the label under that fuse cover and nothing seemed related to my trouble area. I'll recheck that again this morning.
