    Your in for a good lesson in electrical.
    Best place to start is with your batteries.
    Check for damage, corrosion and clean all cables and wiring, also have the batteries tested. Test each individual battery, not as a bank.

    Haven’t had codes reset though , just didn’t know batteries or that block fuse on terminal ( that was blown ) could do all those codes .

    On these newer trucks, batteries and cables are important to keep maintained. A faulty ground can really be problematic. One big question, why was the fuse blown? That would certainly have my interest.

    That situation is a perfect example of why a thorough PRE PURCHASE inspection is critical! The situation you are in may be the exact reason the previous owner got rid of that truck. Good luck.
