Lol in my line of work, I'm always fixing DIY repairs from people mixing it up

I'm just suggesting an easier way to find power. A diagram is always the best solution if you happen to have multiple power wires.

Trust me, Ive had to fix plenty of that. The radio that was in my truck when I bought it was vampired to a wire that was very poorly wired into the fuse panel to power something else. Left over cables and wires, from a cb, that weren't any good. And all the hack electrical jobs on the trucks I used to work on.

First thing I do when I get a new vehicle is rip out all the useless butchered wiring previous owners put in.

I appreciate the feedback folks. I use a multimeter whenever I test anything really, it's more convenient, and I get more information than I would from simply using a light.

The only indication that there might a wiring or fuse issue is that the dome light does not work, and the cab brake light above the rear window doesn't work either. I'm gonna do some more cross checking.

The fuses look brand new. I'm pretty sure a popped fuse will show O/L or just infinite ohms when tested because the point of the fuse is to break that connection in the first place. Granted, slight contact probably wouldn't allow enough amps to cause further harm, but theoretically, shouldn't fuses test at 0 when good, and nothing when bad?

Thanks for the diagram, I've been trying to find something like that, but I couldn't find anything in my Hanes manual.

As usual the solution was almost too simple. Turns out I was just missing a fuse, haha! I apparently mixed up the fuse locations and I didn't even notice one was missing.

All fixed now, and the dome light works too.

The meter never lies...
