Way back in OCT 11, I was using the remote power output next to the shifter in my 04. Unknowing to me, the end of the plug for my GPS, which I was using in this output, was loose. When I removed the plug, the end of the GPS plug fell out and shorted that power output.
This happened the exact moment I pulled the plug from the output and I heard a very muffled pop or snap while the truck was running.
I lost the following;
Radio, power windows, power mirrors, guage cluster, all interior lights and a few other functions. I was also had no power to the fuse box for these systems.
The Front Control Module P/N 56051036-AF and TIPM P/N 68005477-AA were replaced due to an internal short.
The issue, this power port was not fuse protected like most. When it shorted it took out the 2 modules mentioned. The tech installed an in-line fuse to protect the modules.
Hope this helps,
Butch
