How is it mounted? Are you sure it isn't grounded to the chassis somehow? That would totally explain why it worked before you installed it, but now doesn't.

nope the base is all plastic. You basically feed 12 volts on the 1st terminal and the other 5 will be powered with the 1st one. When I tested it all i did was connect the charger to the 1st pin and tested every pin with the meter. I had 12 volts to each pin.

I had this issue when I played with it and now its giving me the issue again.

Have you tried moving the point that energizes the block? Since they are all connected internally, you should be able to use any terminal to energize the others, right?

Yep I checked the resistance between all of them Non of them give me a beep meaning no connection between them. Its really weird. I had it working before I installed it on the truck. Im guessing it screwed up again after moving it.

SOO I did a heater core job recently... I got caught up on bills and ordered some goodies for the blazer.

I ordered an fuel pressure gauge.... Im lacking power and I have a feeling my spiders leaking for some reason.

I also ordered Some lights and a new junction block

(2) LED Light 1x4.0 Surface mount with base AMBER Clearance Side Marker trailer | eBay

And finally 2 prebent body panels for my quarter panel. I have 2 small rust holes that need to be repaired.

On an other note Im happy. it feels good to be all caught up and all. I just wish i had a few weeks of warm weather now.

I also getting an new radio tomorrow. Richphotos has sent me an improved stock unit better then mine of course. Im going to be retrofitting an 1/8 stereo jack into it so I can hook up my touch.
