Please help

I tested my blower motor by runing wires straight to the battery, smelled like something was burning so I unpluged it and turned the truck off...NOW I have no power to windows, interior lights, wipers, and I have no idea whats wrong. I looked for bad fuses, relays, burnt wires...found nothing

thanks for the reply but it is not a mega fuse I have power to all fuses in the distribution box but only half of the fuses have power in the junction box under the dash

If you know the mega fuses are good then the next thing to look at is the wiring harness and gem module.....

If you did not disconnect the blower before testing, oh well.
A blower can take more than 20 amps on high speed so your test wireing may have started to melt the wire insulation.
As stated, te GEM controlls all the functions you are now missing.
Good luck.

THANKS! @ BLUEGRASS...The motor was ran from battery to blower alone nothing else was pluged in but I messed up by not putting a fuse in the line...I used 10g wire so it was not that burnig. Something on the drivers side was burning so I was about to pull the fuse panel out a few minutes ago but decided to check online first.

I appreciate the info guys! I was about to hunt for burnt wires but now I have a feeling it may just be the GEM. THANKS! Im gunna go pull its out now & checkit
