Tracing down a ground......

[PLC7.3]

Just for now check the wiring back to the PCM if possible I tried to send a message with PCM info but MIL email dumped the attachment.. they notified me.

The PCM ground(s) are in position pin #20...... which is circuit #57 a black wire.

Also pin #60 ... which is circuit #570 a black and white wire. I would remove the PCM wire cover and check in there.

FYI the yellow wire is in position#1, there are 3 rows of 20, starting at 1/21/31 up to 60.

Were you reading the volts in the picture?

That is the AC volts side of the meter.
Try the DC side to the right.

I wish you were a hot girl so I could kiss you.......

When I set it to DC and did it everything checked out on the middle wire.

1.2 @ idle to 4.0 @ WOT

Thanks, you are a Godsend
Pete thanks for trudging along with me on this one!!!!!

So was the transmission acting normal all this time??

[dakotajeep]

It was acting up only (I think) because the FIPL was never adjusted properly due to my using the wrong setting (AC instead of DC) on my voltmeter. Dave Sponaugle suggested I use DC instead of AC and it worked.

Thanks Again

Hey Dakota your a helo pilot...... all the ones I flew with for 14 years....went ugly early so they didn't go home alone........

[dakotajeep]

Very Funny.......

Now I am on to conquer the 4x4 problems my pickup has.....

[Dave Sponaugle]

I am a good looking fellow.

I have proof.



Guess being a master electrician has a few good points even in the truck field.

[dakotajeep]

Well, on second after thought seeing the picture my wife may have to do the kissing....lol

But seriously I cant thank you enough. One day I'll understand why that was a big deal.....for now I am satisfied with a running pickup......

Should I bring my snow plow hat?


Since everyone talks about that joker in the snow plow that plows their driveway shut right after they shovel it out, I found a good hat to wear while plowing.

They are laughing so hard they can't be mad after I go by.

So now we know the whole story....I was wondering what you meant by "snow joker".

[Dave Sponaugle]

Remember, I have more fun than most people.

I love my job, all of them.
And I have fun doing them, all of them.

Most people would not be caught dead in my snow plow hat, but I have a lot of fun with it.

Lighten up, have a sense of humor, life is tough enough already, so make as much of it as possible as much fun as possible.

That is my motto for life.

I am going out to check on these grounds.....I may have more questions very soon....

Ok,

The #1 wire (yellow) has 12 volts DC when I put the voltmeter on it (I had the negative lead on the negative battery post). It shouldnt have reading, should it?
