There's a bunch of wierd stuff goin on...

Power windows/locks/seats not working
Dash lights not working
Interior (dome) lights not working
O/D off light goes out when i turn the headlights on
Flip the dash light dimmer/dome light switch all the way up (to turn on the dome light) and something in the left rear quarter panel starts clicking and makin wierd noises, almost like its a relay or pump in the rear washer fluid tank.

I think thats it... I know the GEM is back there so theres a good chance thats where the wierd noise is coming from. Now on to some other things..

I changed teh 30A fuse in the power distribution block under the hood cuz it was blown and that fixed the power windows. seats and locks still dont work (and today the passenger window rolled down fine but wouldnt come back up. drove it for a bit and it worked again.)
I also changed a few 15A fuses in the fuse box and that got the 2 map lights to work on the dome light, but the dome light itself still refuses to work when the doors open or when i turn the switch for it on. Dash lights still dont work..

I was welding on the left side of my truck so i have an inklink i cooked some GEM wires in the proccess and thats whats causing this..

Any ideas? Also does anyone have detailed wiring diagrams of anything the power locks and such have wires runnig too, as well as the GEM? I'm quite electrically inclined but diagrams make things so much easier. thanks!
