I just purchased a 08 Hoe LTZ. I noticed several lights not working on the tach. Tow/Haul, low tire pressure, cruise, fog lights, traction control. Also the 5 buttons up by sunroof, which are sunroof/moonroof, tailgate and bucket seat fold down, (are these even supposed to light up?). Also mirror compass/temp, but on star works (tried power button). The control for the lights/4wd does not light either.
All features associated with above seem to work with exception of tow/haul. Does not seem to engage like my old 02 hoe, however may be engaging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's odd is the the lights on tach are all on the left side. The ones on the right all work. I have also verified that tow/haul is working.
Does anybody have a wiring diagram on this dash, mirror, controls I have mentioned to see if I have power on the plugs? It does not appear there is a fuse for this.
Also if anybody has had their heated washer system removed by the dealer from the recall, here is a link to an aftermarket system.

Well found the problem. Fuse 48 under hood...controls compass mirror power, along with the indicator lights on the tach/speedo for tow/haul, fog lights, cruise etc. Fuse 7 on side of dash is the lights for the 4wd/light switch, lights in the switches in the over head console (8 of them), and oddly enough the 2 back door window switches. When I had bought the Hoe about 4 weeks ago, those were the issues it had. I replaced the fuses about 1 1/2 weeks ago and all was well. Then the **** hit the fan Fri. I was going to leave driveway when I saw smoke from under dash, looked and saw fire, blew it out and pulled battery power. Then removed junction block, took apart harness to find 5 wires arched together. Not a fun job, but done and could have been much worse. Please check your harness where it comes thru the firewall behind parking brake pivot point. There is a bracket there.
