You seem to have a short circuit, or bad circuit breaker. Most newer trucks use breakers instead of fuses for high amp circuits. Could you have run over something which tore a wire under in part of the 4 WD circuit? Pull fuses/breakers one at a time and try again until you find the one which kills the noise, then repair that circuit.
There are two jam switches located on the latch assymbly. One on top and one at the bottom. They can become dirty and not function properly causing the dome light to stay on until it "times" out. They can be removed and cleaned so they don't stick. Once I found them, it took me about an hour to completely remove the door panel, latch assymbly, and to reinstall everything back.
If you can pull the plug from the wiper motor and try fuse. If no change disconnect the plug to the electric windows and try fuse. Unlikly to be in dome light circut unless you have had aftermarket sterio system or other accessory fitted recently
possibly a fusible link is rotted internally this means when the circut gets hot at the link it goes open and after it cools down ..contact is made again untill it heats up again..a fusible link may power up as many as 5 different circuts or fuses/ circut breakers...these links are like a real rubbery type of wire usually orange or grey in colour they will have a connector about the same size as a cigarette ****, and the wire colour may change from this connector ..the connectors are usually white or black plastic. and they are all attached to a power source such as the back of the alternator or at the starter motor or at a junction block of some sort ..all depends on year ,make, model..ect they most always corrode at the connector underneath the wire insulation...good luck
Well, something is shorted to ground. Start by pulling all of the dome lights and sockets and test again.
I use a 10 or 15 amp circuit breaker in place of the fuse, during diagnostics... Then I follow around the path of the wires until I no longer get amperage reading ....No reading, short is before that point.
The amp reading is via induction, not direct connection...
had same problem and found clip broken and apon further insp found clip that holds wire for lights ha pulled off circut board and took the connections with it had to replace cluster
TRY REPLACING ONE OF THE CIRCUT FUSES UNDER THE HOOD , IT IS A 50 AMP THEN THE DOME LIGHT SHOULD WORK, HOWEVER HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE WINDOWS AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE , WITH THE WINDOWS.
ist definitly a blown fuse/circut breaker. take test light connected to a good ground recheck both sides of all fuses. be sure to turn dome light on when checking/ also check under hood for another fuse panel,also in glove box,and lh kick panel.
