Do you mean the heater fan. If so no It wasn't. A/c is getting fixed next week. . I saw the pillar pod reset which is connected to the stereo power. One other thing is the obd port is not mounted to the dash. I wonder if my wife kicked it without noticing. Not that that should cause a problem buuuut.

If the pillar gauges reset, the I think it's safe to say you lost ignition power. That means you likely have a loose connection somewhere up stream from there. I'd start by checking all the under hood ground and power connections.

I think your right Nate. I've got a couple of busy days ahead of me but I'm hoping to investigate this some more by the weekend

I agree with Nate. I assume you lost ignition power if the pillar gauges reset. Check the grounds (batteries to front cover and the small grounds that bolt to both inner fenders and the core support), battery cables, starter solenoid connections, and the firewall connection next to the PCM connection. That firewall connection connects to your under dash harness and if that came loose somehow it would cause everything in the cab to lose power.

Sounds good. I'll see what I find. I'm hoping to take a skid steer up to my dads place next week. It's about 5 hours away so I should know if I find it by then.

Holy cow I've been busy. I bought oil and filters most likely 6 weeks ago. Not done yet, plus my brakes went out about 2 weeks ago, not fixed yet. With planting lately and getting the crops off and all the break downs I've had this year I've had no time. On another note I've probably only put 50 miles on my truck in the last 6 weeks so I guess it's not to bad lol

Hi Nick!

Chilliwack sounds like a rough town when listening to the CBC in my morning commute 😉
