Interesting issue today. I was stuffing about with the driver's window while leaving the house. I know in operation, according to the manual, it can suck up to 14 amps. Went down town and parked up and couldn't start the truck. Could hear the solenoids clicking in on ignition and the starter seemed to be getting power but nothing happening. Gauges and windows were out but lights still fine.
After a bit of fault-finding the 10A gauge fuse was blown. Swapped it and all fine - car starts. Looking at the diagram I have a couple of questions.
1) Is it possible to connect the Power Main Relay back to front? If that was possible, I can see how the windows would blow the 10A gauge fuse.
2) Any insight/experience on why the gauge fuse could stop the truck starting? I couldn't make this link but I'm also not sure what else the Power Main Relay powers.
