Hey guys, in desperate need of someone wiser/more skilled than me. Will provide a $100 gift card to an online store of your choice if you can provide a successful solution:
Problem: Lost power to my backup camera (Intellilink displays guide lines still, just no image and a "service rear vision" error message) and also lost power to the rear heated seat/HVAC controls (front controls and actual rear HVAC function still fine).
How it happened: Yesterday I attempted to hardwire my Passport Radar detector to my windshield mounted wiring, following the instructions found on this forum that many of us have already read. I've done this without flaw on both my past Tahoe and Avalanche, using my homemade "Invisicord" that has worked flawlessly for the last 6 years, and the Pin 2/Violet-Green and Pin 5/Black wires.
Long story short, it's tight in there, and my needle connector slipped and well, they touched. Small spark, and yes, like an idiot, I had power on as I was looking to confirm the connection (and because I was cocky).
Now I have a $65k truck that I've owned for less than a week with owner-induced problems, even if relatively minor. I'm beating myself up enough over here, so please keep the chastising to yourself. I would be incredibly grateful of a specific solution, and like I said, I'll send you a gift card if you can share specifically a solution that ends up working.
I've gone through all four fuse panels looking for an obvious associated fuse, but considering that multiple components went out, it must be something more general.
Thank you in advance.
