Need some diagnostic help.

I was driving home and hit a railroad track a little harder than I intended. It didn't look to be as rough as it was.

Once I hit it, my radio died. It acts if it has no power to it. Steering wheel paddles nor face controls have any effect.

I've turned the truck off and restarted it, but with no change.

Also, my blinkers are flashing, but the truck is no longer making the clicking sound when the blinkers are on.

Any ideas?

Truck is a 2010 4x4 LT Tahoe. About 47k miles. Radio does not have the Nav system. Standard OEM with CD player.

Decided to try not to complicate things and start with the simplest solution.

Sure enough, fuse #42 was blown. Don't know why a bump blew a fuse, but, replacing it makes everything works. All is well that ends well.

That is not normal.
More than likely when you hit that bump something shorted (probably a wire) and blew that 42 fuse. What is the 42 fuse for? The radio?
