Electrical Help?

Just had transmission rebuilt, which works great by the way, and on the drive home I noticed certain items were not working like the clock radio was not lit up nor would it turn on. Checked radio fuse and it was good. My key fob would not work to unlock or lock the doors. The power locks will only work with key turned to accessory or on and the dome lights do not work at all. The theft light is no longer blinking as well and my headlights that use to turn off after a 3-5 minute time delay now turn off as soon as I turn off the ignition. Any ideas that I could trouble shoot before I take it back Monday for the transmission shop to check for something they left unhooked.

Sounds like one of the fuses that is supposed to supply the GEM module isn't.

Check F20 under the hood and fuses F11, F26, F27 ( all three are always hot), F8 (hot in accy or run) and F16 (hot in start or run), all in the under dash fuse box.

If one is found to be blown, and, if you replace it, it blows again, be sure to identify the specific fuse by its designator. It's probably one of the always hot fuses.

Thanks for the advice. I assume these fuses will be identified as such F20, F11.... Etc
