Hey everyone! I have an issue hopefully someone can help me with.

I got a 2018 Big Horn Outdoorsman, and the transfer case selector buttons don’t have any power. I have 12V at the fuse block but nothing at the plug on the back of the switch.

Anyone know where this wire leads or have wiring diagrams?

Is there nothing on the fuse block cover that shows fuse positions and what they are for?
Besides just verifying if the fuse looks good, I recommend checking to see if it has power going in and out at the fuse terminal. Just because the fuse is "good" doesn't mean there is power flowing through the circuit.
Also keep in mind there is a reason the fuse blew to being with. The entire purpose of a fuse is to protect the wiring circuit if there is a short and too much amperage flows through the circuit. Without a fuse blowing and stopping the flow that could cause serious issues starting with melting the wiring, hurting the component it is powering, or even causing a fire. Fuses seldom just randomly fail for no real reason....

Give all the fuses a push down to ensure they are seated. Common problem in the TIPM. Seen many times.
