Dodge Repair: Electrical Short out, dodge ram 1500, fuse box

Question
Hey Weston,
I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. Just recently my radio, overhead console, and power mirrors have shorted out. I've checked all the fuses inside the truck and under the hood. Neither the mirrors or console are listed on the fuse box. All the fuses checked out good. I'm not sure what caused this or how to fix. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Answer
Hi Andy
As with all electrical shorts you have to start at the source.  Start with the mirrors and run down the wires and check for loss of voltage.  I would get a manual with an electrical diagram and that will tell you what color the wires are and where you will need to check.
