Quick update for you guys: I traced one of the shorts to a connector underneath the dash behind the glove box. It’s the black one in the attached picture. I can’t remember where I set the crispy one down but it was pretty bad. Only problem is after fixing it, the electrical issues seem to have...
Ok I’ve circled back around to the BATT circuit from the fuse box being the main culprit. However I’m still unable to find that particular circuit on the half dozen wiring diagrams that I scanned & printed from my chilton manual. All of the wires coming out the fuse box are orange lol every...
Lol & I’m super glad to know for sure that I did the fuse box swap correctly. I was very intimidated by that particular task from start to finish but it had to be done
Can’t remember off the top of my head but when it’s daylight out again I will go under & take a look. Wont be hard to find. Will update you on that soon. Ty again; I just leveled up in my automotive electrical skills bc of y’all!
I also noticed that when I give it some throttle the rpm gauge doesn’t move. That’s not right, is it? Doesn’t the gauge get that reading from the CPS?
My scan tool also cannot connect to the on board diagnostics… that’s a new one. Hmmmm
Good news! I literally just got my truck to start. I traced the wiring thoughout the entire harness. I pinched a wire when I replaced my transmission & that was the problem. After I did the repair, which actually entailed removing the tranny from the block just enough to get the wire out of...
Currently in the process of converting everything back to stock. I’ve had this truck for 7 years & have done a handful of things & now I’m following your advice before continuing. Apparently I spliced in a new headlight switch connector a few years back & while it doesn’t look half bad, it prob...
Thx again man. I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m stalling. It’s just that I’m at work right now and I can’t physically check on anything in my truck at the moment but when I get back home later, that’s the first thing I plan to do.
Oh sorry, when I tested the driver side high beam bulb for functionality, I removed it from the housing & gave it direct power with some wire & alligator clips to a different 12v battery. I just wanted to verify that it did indeed work
You are a godsend! Thank you so much for that thorough explanation. I think I know what I need to do. Will update everyone with the result soon! Again, thank you!
