    I imagine you have already googled for schematics, but they are hard to read on a phone. You have already done about everything you can do without a test light. Sorry, but I am not familiar with anything newer than a 2000 and can't offer any help.

    Everything in the ocean is eating something else or about to be eaten. I don't need to be part of the food chain.

    Yeah, I picked up a test light and my power circuits are dead for the wipers and the HVAC controls. Not much I can really do right now. I'm wearing a hoodie and gloves to drive and I have to wipe the glass every few minutes. Only 600 more miles to go

    In a pinch, i have made my own fused jumper wires. One end to good power, other with a spade connector into the fuse slot to power the desired circut..

    I would bet good money it’s BCM related. When they go it’s usually multiple items at the same time. Truck brake lights malfunctioning is usually a dead give away. But usually the brake lights stay on so maybe a power ground situation to the BCM?
    Can bus wiring is great till there’s an issue.

    Well, odd thing is the brake lamps on the truck and the trailer are working. I have not witnessed the brake lamps being inoperable. The previous owner told me they were not working 30 minutes before I picked up the truck.

    I was in the process of making my own power wires like @Flint1 posted. I am going to power the fused circuit and see if I can make the wipers move and to see if the HVAC control head lights up.

    I've managed to make it to Little Rock so far but overnight in the rain and the fog was a tad difficult.
