Well I read forums for about 2 hours before deciding to post. Here is the issue.
I have NO power to the fuse block at all. This just started and I think it may be something I did but do not know what it was. I pulled the instrumetn cluster out to replace light bulbs because the dash lights were not working. Not following the 101 for auto electrical I did not disconnect the battery. I think all would have been ok except while wedge under the dash I let my wrench touch the RED terminal of the ampmeter and the frame of the dash. I know...
Ironically with everything put back together I have voltage between the red and black terminals on the ampmeter... but NO power anywhere else in the fuse block. I can also crank the vehicle over... just won't start.
I did replace the ignition switch after this happened as well because I thought maybe I fried it. I read in some of the forums my original "no dash light" issue may be because of the headlight switch.
But I need help getting power back to the fuse block... normally the two fuses on the bottom right have power all the time because I have checked them before while troubleshooting other issues a while back. Now I have no power to them.... and with the ignition turned on I have no power to any of them.
I have a wiring diagram and I am struggling to understand where the fuse block gets it's power from.
