Not so sure about a ground problem... If you are blowing fuses, like everytime, then you have a short to ground problem. Something (a power wire) is grounding out causing your fuse to blow. You should probably back track everything you did.. If you don't know how to use it, a test light will probably not help. You need to find the grounded out wire.

what size wire did you use when moving the battery hope you used ought

If you had the battery connected backwards it could have blown all sorts of things. is the parking light circuit the only one you are having problems with?

damn those pesky batteries and their thom foolery, tricking you with their +s and -s and their reds and blacks.....

Aint no reds or blacks. Got no colors other than black on this battery.

The battery was sitting horizontaly, and I moved it to set vertically (sounds like I mounted the battery above a surface and any which way direction). Didn't touch the wires themselves seeing as all i did, was turn it 90 degrees.

I clean all the grounds today, and didn't burn the fuse so i must be on my way to doing something right. I have an idea as to what it is (might've shorted out something when trying to re-connect the power windows) so I'll attack it in the AM.

JUST REMEMBER ONE SHORT CAN FUCK UP EVERY THING SO MAKE SURE ALL IS GOOD AND THE GROUNDS ARE GOOD YOU CAN NEVER BE TO CAREFUL WITH WIREING JUST LIKE METAL MESURE TWCE CUT ONCE

I hate electrical problems. When I bodydropped my dime, it wouldn't start when we where done. I re-spliced every wire I moved, re-checked and quadruple checked them. Still no start. Then after 4 hours of F'n with it, i was ready to explode, I figured out it was just the clutch kill switch , the switch that has to be engaged to start the truck. So I Duct taped to stay in, and viola it starts. DAMN P.O.S. switch LOL.

Well...after dismantling the effing dash and such, it was a fuseable link in the relay block.

Yea....thanks for the help yesterday...

Another situation has shown up.

I go to start the truck, no spark.
I shut it off, there's spark. It seems like something is backwards but i cant seem to trace it.

Idears?
