They are BIG 50A (red) fuses, across the "top" of the fuse block, nearest the engine. RAP = Retained Accessory Power; it's how all the stuff that stays running after you shut off the engine but before you open the door, gets its power.
I looked at all of those big fuses. All look good. I assume it’s very obvious when they blow. I didn’t use a meter on them or anything.

I'm not real big on "obvious" where fuses are concerned.

Use a meter.

i don't remember exactly which ones they is, but you might also check the relays in the block behind the clutch pedal.

I did not see any relays under there, but I’ll check again. Right now I’m waiting on Matco to resolve my scanner software issue to see if I might have smoked my BCM.

yeah, at least on my 99, there're 3 or 4 of them. it's got a black square-ish cover with an unusually-long/deep plastic retainer nut in the middle. it's where you'd also plug in a brake controller harness.

It’s white, right? I’ve got nothing there. No relays. Keep in mind, this truck is poverty spec. No power anything, no AC, no cruise....

In 05 the relays are some in the underhood fusebox, and some on the pass side of the dash up against the door.

Check those fuses first though.

I’ve tested all the relays. All relays are good. I’ll check tonight on the status of those fuses. My 5 year old daughter required my undivided attention last night.

Not to scope creep the thread but what kind of steering column did you put in? Just factory replace or aftermarket? I put a manual in my 2000 silverado and been looking around.
