No power at switch

I was just about done with a commando rs combo in a 1999 dodge ram 1500 when I slipped and grounded out the main power wire that powers the switch ( big red wire ) problem is I do not know where the fuse it??? I looked at the power distribution box but found none to be blown. Check all the normal ones and all seem ok. I turn the key and the truck is dead. Not even a warning light on the dash. I know it is not the main fuse cause the headlights work and ac blower works. anyone had this problem???

Thanks Mike

It might be a fusable link. Look for a burnt wire close to the battery. 

Did you look at the fuses under the hood?

I check the fuses under the hood but they seem to be ok. I do not see a fuse link.

On another note: I was fixin to hook up lock relay when this happened. This truck does not have a OEM keyless entry. So I am going to have to use a 5 wire reverse. Where should I " tap in " , " Cut " from? In the drivers door near the lock motor? Drivers kick ? ect?

Thanks Mike

I did try jumping a wire from the battery and spliceing it in but it has no response seems dead still. I lloked for a fuse link but can not find one. I really do not know where to go from here. ?????

OK, I found the problem with the switch power. It was a fuse that was half blown. If that makes since? I decided to just put a new fuse in the slots and well i moved one it arked and well i guess it was the problem it works now.

:-)

Now back to the door locks. wich color wire do I use I have it as orange / purple [lock] & pink / purple [un lock]

Do I just Cut the wires and put one on pin 87A and the other on 30/51 per the 5 wire reverse relay setup?

Sorry to be such an I D 1 0 T but I have never done a 5 wire reverse before :-)

Thanks so much for your help

ok tried that problem is, I hooked it up and when I press the unlock button ( on the driver door ) it turns the dome light on then sizzle and smoke I pull the wires off. I must be on the wrong wire. The diagram I have says lock it Orange / Purple and unlock is Pink / Purple. Can you confirm this?

How can I tell if this truck had / has an OEM keyless entry?

I had this problem on a 97 mustang one time, I thoght it did not have keyless entry when infact the people had just lost the remote and told me it did not.

Thanks For the fast reply s
