Heat/air conditioning panel not working

[JJenkins]

Hey team,

I recently used an Add a Circuit to tap into passenger fort fuse box to give power to an LED strip, now my heat/ac panel won’t work, I have no heat and it’s freezing up here. I’ve removed the add a circuit and replaced the original fuse (fuse is fine), and disconnected battery for 45 mi s to reset, but the panel is still not working. Any ideas if there is a circuit breaker to flip, or an internal hood fuse to check to reset this?

help appreciated!

Have you tried using the radio touchscreen to operate your climate control?

Unfortunately I have the Custom Trailboss so it doesn’t have that option.

So basically you hook up the strip with a fuse bigger or the same amps? Could have pulled to much current threw the port If you did you could have fried the BCM or the panel itself. We need more info here. Fuses blow if there is a short or if too much current they will heat up and pop. Does everything else in the truck work? Did you check the fuse panel in the passenger side dash same spot the driverside panel is located you also have fuse boxes under the hood

 

I would check with a meter and see if you still have power to the fuse port, if you still have power to the port then you fried the panel.

Add-a-fuse taps plug into an existing circuit's fuse port, but then the add-a-fuse tap has a spot for 2 fuses, so you can install the original sized fuse for the original circuit and then add an appropriate fuse for the LED strip he is adding, which should be very minimal.  At most he'd need a 5 amp fuse I'd imagine, or he can get creative and locate a 2 or 3 amp fuse if he can find it easily enough.
