I'm editing this thread as I have solved the problem. My aplogies for not reserching threads longer befor panicking and posting. After I remembered that the 4wheellow was flashing and did a more intensive search the answer was found.
Replaced fuse #26 and everything is good with the world again.
The rest of this is the original post.
I really need some help. I'm in Atlanta and need to get back to NC as soon as I can. Here's the problem.....
I was attempting to replace a bulb in the overhead console. Bulb wouldn't come thru the fixture, it seems to have gotten too hot and either melted the fixture or swole up. Longshot is I had to break the bulb to get it out. (yes I was the idiot who didn't disconnect the battery) I was pulling out the pieces with needle nose and a flat screwdriver and accidently hit the power ribbon. Heard the little spark that arced and was sure I had blown a fuse.
I have checked, I'm pretty sure, every fuse and can't get the interior lights to work. Then I discovered the power windows won't go down and the sunroof won't open. According to the chart in the owners manual there is a fuse in the relay box for the windows and sunroof but also includes the power seats. However, the seats work fine.
I also noticed that the 4wheelLow indicator was flashing but stopped. Would have to go watch for a bit to see if it flashes again.
I'm at a complete loss here. I've swapped out the fuses and all the relays to no avail. Can anyone point me in a direction to correct this? Please let me know as soon as possible, thanks.
