All right, I found one of the problems....
Upon doing some more checking for current draws and such, the bank of lights that I refered to earlier (2 pod lights, pourch light, and the over head 12 volt plug in on the passenger side) Suddenly quit working on me. Multi meter said I had 10.19 volts at the house battery. Yes low, but I should have some sort of power at these lights. It turns out that when I was pulling fuses I found that the fuse block itself seems loose and unabale to maintain its conection. When I push the block together all the lights function as they should. These seem to be a two piece block or maybe buss bar is the better term? Anyways it looks like if I cannot tighten the two pieces I will have to replace it. At least it seems like an easy fix.
Now I just got to track down a proper house battery.
Thanks again for the help.
