Electrical help requested!
Hi guys(gals),
Newbie here...reading forums for a while....could use some electrical help. '05 6.0 PSD, CC SB, 4x4, XLT trim. Today I installed the snowplow wiring harness for my Boss plow. A very challenging job due to very tight quarters. Anyway, all went well with job until I tried my power windows. None of the windows or switchs work. The under-dash 30A breaker has continuity. There is no power to its socket with the ignition on. Inspection of the under-hood fuse box shows nothing obviously amiss. The owners manual fuse guide does not list the main fuse for the power window circut.
To install the plow harness I did the following:
-removed the driver side battery and battery tray
-removed air filter (what a pain in the @##!!!)
-installed the plow coil/relay on the side wall between the fuse box and Antilock brake control.
-put everything back
Other than the very cramped conditions - no problems. No sparking, etc.
Any ideas troops? Relays or buried connections?
Thanks for the help.

Chk all connections in the area you were working sometimes at the factory they don't get them all the the way together so they click and lock you may have knock one loose.
Also did you drill any holes ? If so double chk the area you drilled in

Did you check all the fuses, even the one's under the hood, often a fuse that seems to have nothing to due with the problem is the problem. Other than that I second what FortyFords said about a loose connector. When looking at the connectors also look for any pins backing out, I have seen connectors fully seated but with a single wire not.
