04 4x4 f150 xlt electrical issue
Hello all, new to the forum and hope this is the right place if so thanks in advance if not a push n the right direction with be much appreciated as well!!!
OK to start I put my first radio in a car about 35yrs ago and never had any problems, the colors have always matched up we'll they have cause I've always got a new wire harness for what ever I was putting in. We'll this time I wanted 2 save a lil so I used the one that I used 8 yrs ago when I changed the radio the first time. I've never seen this but almost all the colors were faded, so needless to say I touched the wrong wire n didn't realize it and the radio wouldn't work. It took me some time I checked fuses 7 and 31 cause the manual said radio well I didn't read close enough cause fuse 22 was the one that was blown. Well while sitting there trying to find what was wrong my batt. died so I tried to jump it. It took a couple of tries but started I chocked it up to draining the power but once I got the fuse fixed and "NEW" wire harness wired up try it start the truck and now all it does is crank, not sure if this is a part of or something that just happened as well but when I turn the key to the run position my "fuel hand doesn't move and my windows won't come down for about 10 to 15 seconds then I hear a click and hand goes up windows come down and also the radio comes on when the click happens. I've checked manual n looks like 401 circuit breaker controls delay power 4 windows, but my brains not quite getting it cause I used to do electrical work some yrs ago but I've never had a fuse or breaker work half way either there good or bad. So if anyone has any clue I could use any and all help please and thank you.
