Hello everyone, been a long time since I been on any forums, but I am stumped a bit.
Back story: Bought a farm truck that was sitting in a field for years, wiring nightmare (wires cut and chewed all up previous teenage owner and mice/squirrels). So my newest problem is I have a short in the transmission it seems that provides power to the Fuse #20. When I drive, it bogs bad like it is in either 2nd or 3rd. If I put a fuse in, it blows as soon as I give it ignition power. I attached a picture below of what I started with prior to me driving it. The wire itself got so hot it popped under the dash and melted about 6 other wires together and shorted, hard to see the others but you can see the copper from the pink one (#20). Still working that issue, but most is resolved. I have been driving it again after a ton of repairs mechanically and electrically. But now Fuse 20 pops every time, cleared all the other codes the SES and even the air bag light.
Now with the transmission plug, plugged in I have a short to ground with the pink wire to #20. With everything unplugged it goes away. So at this point I am assuming there is a short with one of the solenoids and/or the harness is shorted in the transmission. My plan is to replace the harness and solenoids, which ones do I need P/N wise? I want to be done with this, I can grab the harness from AutoZone, and the solenoids maybe, trying to do this today, I do not have much time these days for projects. Not sure what to expect with this transmission operation once I do this, so I hate to pour a bunch of money into it, I just want it on the road until I do my 6.0 swap. Have not had it work properly since I owned it. Working out all the bugs. Being my truck is a 95, I need the PWN Solenoid right? Anything anyone would like to add? I just want to make sure I do not have to open this pan AGAIN. I have no problem buying a kit online somewhere, but would rather get it locally to just get it up and running. Any advice help would be great.
