Haven't had any issue like this ever before. Driving along and the fuse popped, car dies. 4th fuse from the right. Cant find anywhere that the fuse box or wires going into that fuse are wet, I live in Oregon and we've been getting dumped on with rain. As I said, never had this happen before and I've been in some really wet conditions. I have no clue.

Checking the wiring diagram, there are quite a few things that come off of that fuse. I am on a flatbed on the way home. Any suggestions from the best community on the web?? Has anyone ever had this issue? Things to check? As always, much appreciated!!

Thanks!!

Best bet is to pull the fusebox down where you can get at all connectors, and then (after taking clear digital photos) remove the connectors. First connect supply-side wires, then add device-size connections, and see which one blows the fuse. Then trace that wire wherever it leads.
