I was hoping someone could help with a situation I got myself into today.  I just installed a Crimestopper CS-865rkeii  Keyless Entry System/Alarm and it has been working fine until I realized it was interfearing with my SouthernLink (Nextel) Phone reception, so I got  the bright idea of putting a toggle switch between the keyless entry box and the 12 volt constant line to turn it off when I needed a better cell phone signal.  When I turned on the toggle switch after I wired it up I saw a spark on my 12 volt constant lead coming out of my in-cab fuse box, and now my keyless entry does not workBlown Fuse or Fried Board on 05 Silverado -- posted image., nor does any of my interior lamp/lights that turn on when the door is open. (I believe I went wrong by buying a lighted toggle switch that had a ground and I hooked up the ground incorrectly I am thinking.)  I looked at all the fuses and I can not seem to find a blown fuse.  Can anyone help me figure out how to fix what I did, or have I already fried that 12 volt constant lead.  Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks. (My vehicle is a 2005 Chevy Silverado, basic fleet edition).

I had a similar problem, but it was a blown interior fuse, if your using a 12volt constant then it couldnt haev been a fuse to do with the interior maybe you used a different 12 volt make sure you check all the fuses in teh cab and under the hood also the relay box on the drivers side.. Goodluck

Make sure that you check your fuses with a multimeter and not with your eyes. Sometimes there are hairline fractures in the fuses that you can not see and this causes partial breaks in the fuses making the power on that circuit less than what it's suppose to be if any at all.

put black to ground and with the red probe check the two sides of the fuse to see if it has 12volts

It's even better to use your DMM to check a fuse by looking for continuity. Simply put your probes on either end of the fuse-tops or spades-and listen for the beeeeeeeeep.
