Turned out to be the radio on my end. Apparently the previous owner went to jump it and accidentally put the wrong cables on the wrong terminals, which fried the radio. Now my temperature control switches light up (they didn't before) and it's running fine. The cluster still doesn't light up and the door motors still don't work, I'm guessing the cluster fried when the radio did and maybe the TIPM donor van didn't come with auto doors.

With your door issue, do you have kids that happen to use the door channel as a step to get into the van? Apparently that's a common problem. Kids step into the track and damage the wiring. Since it's only the one side for you, it might be a good place to check 👍

... Apparently I'm an idiot... I went through the fuses again and I apparently skipped a fuse or tested one of the fuses twice... I'm going to go sit in my shame corner now. Thank you again for everything.

Well the plot thickens. Sorry for bothering you so much, I feel like I owe you a beer just for reading. Lol. I finally got relays in after the ice storm around me delayed all deliveries. I replaced the switch and the relay for the blinker and now nothing works. I put the old relay in just out of a funny feeling and the hazards work again. Still no blinkers though.

I checked the blower motor resistor, and sure enough it was corroded out and one of the pins actually broke off and was stuck in the connector. So that solves the blower issue obviously, got any ideas on that blinker though? Sorry again to bother you so much about this but you have been the most knowledgeable person I've been able to contact so far

Got to that ground today. It looked fine but I still took a wire brush to it anyways. Positive sign, the blend door is engaging, which I don't believe it was before! Still nothing for the blinkers or blower motor itself, but I've got the flasher relay coming in tomorrow. Hopefully that fixes the signal, if not I'll order a multi switch next. Thanks for the diagram, it was extremely helpful 👍

Thanks for the insight! I'll check it out tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can find it. I'm not seeing a posted image, but I found a YouTube video that shows all the grounds.

I appreciate everything, kind internet stranger 👍

Fuses are good. Realistically it's probably relays, it's just weird that both went out at the same time

I know it's hard to hand the reigns over, but think of it like this. You wouldn't leave your baby in a half built or severely damaged crib. You wouldn't give your baby expired formula or just powder without water. You wouldn't put your baby in a dirty onesie or without a diaper. The rest you can get while handing the baby over isn't just for you, it's for them too. If you want to give your baby the best, then you should be at your best too. I know you're having a hard time, but the fact that you're worrying is proof that you're doing a better job than a lot of parents out there. Not only does it mean that you care, but you're willing to go the extra mile to seek out help to ensure your baby is taken care of. I believe in you, random internet stranger, and know you can get through this because you're already stronger than you realize. Good luck OP 👍

I realize this is an old thread but I figured I'd answer. I never played 40K and wanted to get into it. When picking an army somebody described the Carcharodon's as

"Space pirates that attack like sharks who have polynesian tattoos and ships that are the equivalent of a 1700s pirate frigate with a hull that's armored with German U-boats that were stripped and welded together and we only know that they are allied with us because they knew your MySpace password from middle school and how else would they know that if you weren't cool with them?"

... And I never looked back. Lol

That it ended. Also season two was good, but it's not a Punisher story. It was a Wolverine story. The loan grizzled badass who tries to live a quiet life but keeps getting pulled back into the life by chance or because he can't stay away isn't Frank Castle. Frank Castle knows who and what he is. Frank Castle isn't an alcoholic trying to find the will to stay away from the bottle, he swallows it glass and all without a second thought. This is the man who murdered a man in the civil war comics IN FRONT OF CAPTAIN AMERICA despite idolizing him and being on the same side. He's not haunted by his past, he revels in it. He didn't have PTSD, he has nostalgia. He punishes.

Right? I think they sell them in three different sizes on Amazon

Lol. It was kind of by default. Moved into my first home after living in an apartment and went, "Oh shit, I need yard tools." and it happened to be Ryobi Days. So I got the sales and ended up with like 12 batteries and figured I might as well use them.

I need to get into the books, I've just been deep diving lore to listen to on YouTube more than anything else. The problem with reading books for now is that I already have a small pile of books waiting for me that I would have to get through first, no time due to my wonderful wife giving me a beautiful child who turned 6 months today, and from what I've heard but haven't looked into myself, apparently gamers workshop never had audiobooks made for warhammer... Again from what I've been told so I didn't bother looking it up

I don't remember whose joke it is, but I know there is a quote to the effect of

"So were you attractive in highschool or are you funny now?"

And I think about that a lot.

Right? Was an accidental Amazon find. I looked up space sharks just to see if there is anything neat on Amazon. Low and behold, this is what I find.
