Just came in from finding the problem and saw this post. Number one fuse had a break so slight it couldn't be detected visually, at least not by me. Replaced and everything is working fine. Now I have to resolder all those wires for the trailer lights so I can haul a wood splitter this weekend! LOL. At least there's plenty of wire back there.
