01 Durango - Horn, Radio, Mirror and more went out Sign In

2001 Dodge Durango SLT 4x4 (eng? Smaller of the two options I think)

The following items went out at the same time.

Horn, Radio, Pwr Mirror, Dome light, Aux Pwr plugs (sig lighter works) and OBD II reader unable to connect. Other items that I can easily/visually check work. All lights/gauges necessary to drive appear to work. The following is what I was able to read at the fuse panels.

Horn - P
Radio - P
Pwr Mirror - NP
Dome light - F
Aux Pwr plugs (sig lighter works) - ?
OBD II reader unable to connect. - ?
------------------------
P=Has Pwr
N=Has No Pwr
F=Fuse is out and blows replacement fuse
?=did not identify locate fuse but there was one additional fuse labeled 20A PWR OUT (which also blows replacement fuses) that may be the Aux Pwr plugs.


When these all went out there was a very strong smell of an electrical short.

I’ve opened up the Central Timer Module and found no evidence of anything wrong and it passed the sniff test. The smell in the vehicle is nearly gone but I suspect that what ever burned up would still carry the smell if I got close enough to it.

I’m trying to avoid the dealer as they want $100 minimum to look at it and scratch their head.

Any directions would be appreciated. My current plan is to follow up with the two fuses that were shorted.

Second advice request is what would be a good manual to buy for this and future maintenance?


Thanks,

Jon
