Everything was working fine on this vehicle until the battery died on the prior owner (I used to drive it). He put a smaller battery in it, one that had enough power to start it and drive it, however, all the power accessories stopped working – windows, mirrors, locks, seats, etc. He did get the correct size battery after, but none of the power things have started working. Is this maybe a relay problem? or something else? When I try any of them I don’t even hear a click of it attempting to work.
You could check to see if you even have battery positive at the fuses. There could be a blown in-line fuse sometimes called a fusible link. This happens sometimes when swapping out a battery and something gets touched that shouldn’t. Another cause might be a wire/cable didn’t get connected back correctly. Looking at the wiring diagrams I do not see an in-line fuse. However, I do see what is called a “MEGA FUSE” that is a 175A Fuse. Might check this one, it is located in the Battery Junction Box. Take a look at the wiring diagrams provided below to get a better idea of what I am talking about.
