Default Electrical Issue... Looking for a Idea!!!

Recently had to Jump-Start my Tahoe (long story...)... ANYWAY, AFTER I Jumped my Tahoe, I noticed I lost my Radio, back-up camera and Flashers...

Anyone have this issue... Or know what Fuse or Fuses I may need to replace to get it back up?

Thanks-

2007 Tahoe LTZ 5.3L

If you are not sure, then check them all. It doesn't take that long. Check both fuse boxes.

There is a description and diagram of the different fuses in your vehicle available in the owner's manual on pages 557 through 562. For your convenience, a digital copy of the manual is available at: http://www.extendedgmwarranty.com/ow...olet-Tahoe.pdf

Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.

I hope this information is useful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me privately.

Thumbs up Thanks for the help!!

So I wanted to give you an update... I did check the fuses and (RDO and CSTY), pulled them both and both were NOT Blown.... HOWEVER....


I started the car and went to the store and "POOF" the blinkers make the Flasher Noise, the Radio works fine and the Back-Up camera works as it should!!


Not sure why pulling the fuse and putting them back in "Reset Something"... But I thought I'd share the knowledge to pass on to others..

Which in my opinion... is Why We ALL Come Here!!


Thanks!

Ummm...now I'm wondering what to say...

"Let sleeping Dogs lay", or

Get a (toothbrush) Wire Brush, and give all those Fuse Blades a cleaning.

I think that's the GM version of the Windows "Control, Alt, Delete".
