As the title states, lost dome light and stereo. Last time I lost dinky stuff like that was in my E150 and the alternator went out immediately after. So I came home and got the multimeter out. Batteries both say 12.5ish. When the truck is running they show around 14.14. So today I checked the batteries and they are the same as yesterday. Pulled the fuse for the dome light, the stereo, the dash. All the fuses I checked were good. (Ordered all new ones on amazon anyway).
But in my checking tonight when it was quieter I noticed that if I turn the key on about 1.5 seconds later the Rear Antilock dash light flashes for a second and there is an audible click. Also, the “Engine” light is illuminated when the key is turned on, but turns off if the truck is started. Any ideas of what to check next? Checking every fuse is so tedious.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Forgot to say that after all the above I disconnected both batteries and let it set for a beer. Same situation after reconnection.
