I just barely figured out what the issue was about a week ago. I had an after market harness in for aux in for my iPod and that harness was fried when disconnecting and reconnecting battery. After the uninstall of that harness back to factory everything worked fine. Glad it was just that and not my whole stock harness.

BTW, does your truck still have the OEM Battery Terminal connectors????

If it does, they are complete CRAP, get rid of them and replace with a quality aftermarket set like Stingers or your favorite brand. There are gobs of threads on the topic of the need for aftermarket battery terminal connectors to replace the POS OEMs. It is not a matter of if, but when, they fail. Once replaced, the electrical Gremlins will pack up and look for the next dope with stock battery terminal connectors.
