Default 05 Trailblazer electrical issue

I killed my battery by leaving the key turned, after jumping it the car runs fine, light work, turn signals and front wipers….but the radio, power door locks, power windows, rear wiper all do not work. I have had the battery and alternator tested, disconnected the battery for a few minutes and all fuses are fine…any thoughts?

did you check the rear fuse block?


if yes, dealer time as almost all of those components are powered by modules.

Default 02 trail blazer electrical problems

I have the same exact problem, All fuses are good front and rear.
Doesn't make sense. Is there a circuit breaker?


thanks

You know its not the module... how?
the front door locks don't even have fuses let alone fusible links; which I haven't seen on cars in 15 years. The front door locks are POWERED by the driver and passenger door modules...so if you have power and grd to the module but no power out of the module....you may have a module problem. Check for codes set in these modules with a scan tool. The rear locks have a fuse in the rear fuse panel but the command to lock/unlock the rear door is controlled by the bcm

I don't have a scan tool so I guess I don't know for sure. I will have it scanned this week. I unplugged the module and it looked good. Nothing looked burnt, so I guess you can't tell by looking at the module or fuses, cause there all good. Its just weird that most everything works except the above mention things from the first post. When I find out I'll let you all know.


Thanks for your help.

Vipergg22, thank you so much! It was a 7 dollar mega fuse which replaced the old fusible links.
