Default Truck Release short

Just checking to see if anyone has had this little number...

Light blue power to hatch release (z06 so single release solenoid). Has power at ALL times, even after removing Fuse 26 and relay 39!! I've pulled IP fuse panel Connector 3 and confirmed continuity between pin A9 and the connector at trunk... About to run a tone on the wire & see if it crosses somewhere in the harness. Otherwise it is likely the fuse panel itself??!

TIA

Ok... got the fuse box out... someone has already had it apart (the nut blocks had been drilled off... ( This is AFTER I've tried to straighten out some of the jumper wires... They were all f...d up & touching pins/posts/each other... I swear to god folks who do this kind of stuff should be slapped with a 2x4...

Doubt anyone has a diagram of this to confirm its together correctly?!?

GM of course has discontinued... Time to hit the parts section or Fleabay??

I replaced my fuse-box early this year for a non working vert hatch.
Previous owner had clogged udders and water backed up into the fuse box.
I found corroded terminals and broken wires because of this.
I ended up buying a used fuse box off of fleebay for like $75.00 and repaired the two broken wires.
I never tried opening the box up because I read that it isn't really serviceable and those little wires are a bitch once they start popping out.
Good luck

Not sure if this is related but hopefully this can shed some light on your issues.
