Is there a central fuse for accessories behind the main panel or something? Or any kind of explanation of this all happening at once after a year and a half of the truck being back on the road?
Btw the previous owner had all kinds of aftermarket electronic stuff on the truck that my dad and I ripped out without discretion, so the entire truck is basically just a giant ball of ubconnected and stripped wires. Also what's left of the original wiring harness is spliced into so many times it might as well be a tree. There are splices on top of splices on top of splices on some of the wires. I know this will just take time to sort out or a new wiring harness. My question is possible reasons for multiple systems going out all at once?
