Ready to drive kill this truck!

Okay, it started raining bad and the battery drained because something stayed on while key we're out. Okay so water? Windshield? As the weather dried up a bit I decided to take the gem out as my horn started blowing, and clean or check to see if water damage. Gem looked fine, fuse box looked fine. Installed it all back in and now my turn signals, heater and some other odd things won't work. Ordered a new gem anyway. Didn't help, ordered a new fuse box didn't help. Now what? I can wiggle the wires that run into the 2 large plugs, located in the back of the fuse box and things turn on or off?

Seems like you found the source of the problem, so what are you asking?

fuse box plugs would have been a good guess....... but since they are NEW and it still does it, and ONLY WHEN YOU WIGGLE THE PLUGS, then I would look for a problem inside the plug / pins or wires just entering the plug...... since you have SEVERAL problems, them might be related to ONE HOT WIRE ?? You need to strip back the cover and look at the wires at that point, and the PINS on the inside of the plug for corrosion/ bad contact.
