So....After installing my overhead aux lights everything was going fine and working perfectly. 3 days after using them for the first time I tried to use them again and they seemed to be working fine; then the rear ones died. I figured ground must have wiggled out or somthing while offroad. As I pulled into my drive way I tested the lights the best that I could but to no avail. The front lights worked fine, but nothing to the back. Then I noticed smoke pouring out of my dash. I killed the truck and disconnected the battery then took the dash apart to see the damage. The wire that went directly to my switches had completly fried and had nothing left. I hooked the battery back up but left the lights off the positive. Now I have no curtesy lights inside, no underhood light, 4wd buttons are not lit at all, and it seems to be running almost as if it is in 4lo but in 2wd. Very little "oomph" to the pedal but very torque-y. Does anyone have any ideas on a fix? Or at least one how to fix some of it? If possible a link to the wiring diagram would be appreciated so I can see what, if anything is damaged. Thanks Everyone

 

Any Ideas anyone?

 

Pardon my bluntness...
Why the hell you need a link to a wiring diagram if you wired it as per the other thread.

There werent any factory lighting circuits involved, as far I can tell.

 

Check your fuses. Maybe the wire shorted with one of the wires in the dash.

 

I have no idea what went wrong with the wiring, I checked all fuses and none were blown. The main wire that burned was the one going from ignition to the switches. I followed the diagram exactly as it showed. As far as I can see none of the stock vehicle wires were damaged, but I still do not have lights. I seen the light behind the 2wd button blink once eariler today but instantly went back out.
