Have 1995 250 heavy, 7.3 turbo diesel 4x4, just finished installing a new torque convertor and was blowing fuse marked 9 it's a 20a and truck would turn over and not fire, battery also had low cranking even after charge. Have ordered new heat plate for fuel bowl but was stilling blowing fuse after disconneting wire to heat plate at spade connection. So then unplugged all wiring harness to tranny as was recently removed for tc replacement, and had wait to start light come back and not blowing fuse, then during reinstall of wiring harness fuse went again at key turned on but not turning key for crank over. So then had passenger side wiring harness on tranny checked at ford and was good, they said check main feed harness, which will happen tommorw.

But am looking for other feedback and input on my dilemma ....thx

Are your SURE you disconnected the fuel heater?

If so, you may have a shorted harness or a bad ecm

 

Yes very sure, ECM as in ?

 

Electronic Control Module

 

Never mind Fuse 22 is the one that controls the ECM and Fuel heater

 

I should also add that is has a super chip code reader and it could not access the diagnostic for a code either

 

Also when reconnecting the wiring harness on tranny the ground became excessively hot and was vibrating with power when the key turned over

 

So, have traced to a ground wire that was connected to transmission has current of 12v disconnect ground and truck starts no fuse blow. But now only 1st and 2nd and reverse work, when in drive truck drives slowly off start and od light flashes.....?.....is there something electrically wrong with my tranny ? Or a solenoid gone in my tranny...help
