looking for some help
I've git an 03 f350 did an engine rebuild and custom interior along with aftermarket exhaust, now when I turn the key to the on position the truck turns over and runs, I've swapped out my ignition switch replaced the starter relay unplugged my aftermarket deck and still no dice, I'm completely confused as to what to do at this point, oh and when I unplug fuse 41 the problem goes away but I have no stereo or interior lighting, thnx
