    Have a 99 w/s I have power to everything except the bunk blower motor and the overhead florescent light. All 12v sockets work and the reading lights work and bunk radio controls. Light on front a/c switch lights up also. Any ideas?

    I want to say there are a couple of fuses behind the bunk panel. You have to take out all the small screw to get to them though. I'd hit the motor with a multimeter before I did that though and the light only has two screws holding it up and you can get to the connector to test power as well.

    Changed all fuses and relay in the bunk panel. No luck the blower motor works if I hotwire the switch. There is no .fuse or relay labeled in my front panels for bunk controls
    They are all good anyway. I'm stumped.

    You do have the rear power switch on the main a/c panel on the dash turned on correct? If so it sound like you need a new rear a/c controller. The ballast in the light can go out at anytime, especially on an old truck. Did you get it jump started recently?

    As a matter of fact I did have it jumped but all worked fine afterwards. Took to shop to have abs work done and that's when it quit. And yes I have the AC control up front for the back turned on.

    Replaced battery cables checked all wiring going to bunk panel replaced the panel. A week later voltmeter started jumping up and down and I here a clicking in the bunk panel. It was coming from the top right fuse pulled it it quit. The dealers are stumped. Anyone got a match? Still no power to the bunk.
