Ok, this is a bit of a spinoff of a post from another thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/598751-post15.html
Long story short, I had an AC kit installed in my M1009. Started and ran great for the first 3 or 4 starts. I had left the blower motor on full power when I shut it off, and the switch was still in that position when I turned the key to restart after completing an errand. The truck was already plenty warm, so I turned the key directly to START. The blower started for a very brief moment, and then the entire truck went dead. No lights (including GP wait light) no horn, no NOTHING. Voltmeter reads nothing. I'm guessing I overloaded the electrical system with the blower motor on full and trying to engage the starter.
I checked all the underdash fuses, and they're all good. Where else should I look? A fusable link was mentioned in the other thread. Is there one that would cut total power instantly to a previously flawless truck? If so, where would it be located?
