To begin I have a 2004 silverado LS std cab. When I got the truck the guy said it needed a window regulator, which it did but he neglected to tell me that the DDM was fried(and I mean charcoal) right where the main power/ground and window polarity grounds are. I got a new DDM, door harness, window motor/regulator, and thought it would work, it didn't, well it kind of did. Switches for passenger window, mirror and lock would work and blinker in driver's mirror would work but not the lock mirror or window on driver's side. Did a little reading and found the DDM needed reprogramming, had that done a dealership but still nothing. Was running errands after dark and noticed lights on the switches would flicher. When the switch lights were off passenger side would work like before but nothing else when lights were on the locks would work. After awhile lights stayed on. Checked through all fuses, all good. Checked the DDM(marked LT DOOR on diagram) circuit breaker/relay and when I pulled it out it fell apart, everything still works like it did before. Borrowed the relay from passenger side and put it in and still nothing. The fuse block where the relay goes in is a little charred. Took a test light to the 4 main wires and the ones that are suppose to be negative are correct and the ones that are suppose to be positive are correct (can't remember which is which atm)

 

Question #1- where do I go from here on what to check?

Question #2- how does that even happen to the DDM/relay?

 

I may be missing some info but I believe I covered everything, if I think if anything I will add it in a reply. Any and all questions welcome and thank you in advance because any info or help HAS to be a step forward

Ok so I think I have a short because now I'm having battery drain issues. Battery stays charged fine when unhooked but if I just shut the truck off and walk away it will barely start after sitting 5 hrs and will ntt start at the 6 hr mark

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
