Major electrical stuff up. Help!! (1 Viewer)

[AzzzzzA]

Having a bit of a major with my '03 2uz, hope someone can help.

It all started with Fuse 3 in the LH footwell popping killing the radio, dash illumination and power mirrors.

I started chasing it with the radio out. Now it's gone fully tits up. I must have zapped something or another now I have no wipers, no A/C, no fan, no gauges, no reverse lights, no indicators and the ABS light on when the car is running.

I reckon I can sort the first problem (fuse 3) OK but any advice on the second issue is appreciated.

Thanks Aaron

I should also add that she starts and runs just fine.
Thanks again

Here's a good thread I found using Google: Water leak on driver side is driving me crazy - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/water-leak-on-driver-side-is-driving-me-crazy.1003433/

Sounds like it might be what you're working with. Has it rained where you're at recently? New windshield?

Thanks for the reply mate. No water ingress that I can see or feel even with the borescope.
So it turns out Problem 1 (fuse 3) was a problem caused by whovever the dodgy bastard was that installed the double din radio and headrest DVD players 10 or 12 years ago (before I owned it). The wiring was so below par it's stupid. Wires just twisted together and wrapped with a bit of electrical tape.
The second problem was a dodgy AM1 fuse that I pulled out, continuity tested (it tested fine) and put back in a couple of times. I finally hit the whole fuse block with contact cleaner and put in a new fuse and 'Hey Presto' we're back in business.
