Gotcha, tomorrow that shunt and those terminals will be shiny as a new dime.

There is one wire, I think that it came off of the R/S shunt..it's black and has a buldge in it like a snake that just swallowed a rat. They didn't put any
"fuse Links" in these birds did they?

Total of 3 fuse links on output side of GPR (shunt), they are the fused inputs to the PCM. The input side of the GPR also has fuse link (BK/O).

My wire colors in above posts could be off. Doing this from memory.

Thanks Bill, I had a gut feeling that the one that I had memtioned was a fuse link. I'm not sure how to check a F/L. Just check for continuity between the terminal and pierce the wire further down from the link?

I could use help in this area.

yes continuity is the only way to check a FL. sometime you can just feel the FL and feel where the wire is burned out or broken but a meter will tell the whole story

You can disconnect the main bulk connectors on the motor and cont/ohm test from the connector to the shunt.

OK Gents, here where I'm at. I read the material and looked at all of the pix
and I'm trying to understand it the best I can. I stumbled upon a new GP relay that I had bought on Fleabay way back when. Didn't quite mount the way the OEM did but the instructions one mounting bolt was sufficiant.

I installed the new relay and same old crap...CEL same codes..I am now sucidal. I recall a diesel guru that only works on diesel pick ups and gave him a call. Told him everything that I have done right down to the aftermarket GPR.

He said get rid of the after market and get a ford or heavier as they carry upwards of 200 amps.

So I went to the stealership, bought a new one and will install it tomorrow.

If that don't work it must be in the main harness or the PCM.
I'll keep ya posted.

The part that bothers me is that I was on top of that engine so much when I was replacing the fuel pump and the turbo I could have smooched most anything, and there sure is a lot of crap up there.

Remember I only had this code on one side until I changed all of the GP's

According to this post you don't have a problem with the relay or the control of it. If you have power on both large studs then the relay is working correctly. Your down to between the shunt and the GP's

OK, I've just about got this mess figured out thanks to all of you, but I still need some help from the Guru "Think Tank."

If you will scroll up and click on the material that Action4478 supplied then scroll down to the schematic of the GPR.

I had the wires on posts "A" & "B" crossed but before I discovered the cross wire issue I took a voltage reading of A & B with the key on.
At this reading I had 11.36V on A and 6.30V on B.

I spoke with a Ford mech and determined that I had these two wires crossed. Both should be around 12V

I disconnected both wires and before I replaced them I turned on the ign. and got a 12V reading on both A & B.

I hooked the wires up properly and then turned on the ign and took another Voltage reading and this time A was 6.30V & B was 11.35V

SO, it appears that I have a problem with the purple/w-Org wire which goes to test PIN #101. I figured, by following the harness over to the driver's side it plugs into a large "Receptical" that continues on to where ever.

My question is: How do I identify Pin # 101 so that I can check continuity? Plus where is PIN #101?

Although I no longer get a CEL I'm losing 5 Volts on the P/O wire.

Any thoughts are always welcome.
