On friday my truck was having a bad day/night. First tranny problems but that is a different story. My gauge cluster lights, tail and brake lights don't work, and the driving lights won't turn on, but the blinkers work. I get the chime when I turn to the on position, but there is no chime when the door is open and the headlights are on. Also the reverse and headlights work, and so does the radio, the dome light and outside cargo light works. I replaced the headlight switch today, no dice, and actually now the dome light and cargo light stay on all the time so I have to disconnect my battery.... Last but not least, my abs light is flashing 4 consecutive times. it goes (X means the light is on)
XXXXX X X X XXXXXXXX X X X XXXXXXXXX :icon_confused:

Checked my fuses and they're fine. What is going on?!?!

Only a guess sorry,,but others have had issues with the multifunction switch. I've also heard plenty issues due to poor grounds.

All of that is on fuse 10 (15A). Look for shorts at the trailer connector if you have one. You can isolate the tails by disconnecting the plug at the rear of the center of the bed, underside. I can send you schematics if you PM me your e-mail address.

I unplugged the entire connector and it didn't help. You wouldn't happen to have the fuse layout for under the dash would you? PM sent.
