You take a Headlamp and use the battery and Pull a Load over the wires thats in question

now have you checked for continuity yet???

sometime continuity ok but Fails Load test

Do continuity first its easiest for me anyway

Did I give you the pins to test the other day I cant remember????

---------------------------------SO LIKE THIS---------------------------------

--FICM PLUG END PIN#-------------TO------------PCM PLUG END PIN#--------

PIN#5--------------------------------TO-----------------PIN#19----------------
PIN#9--------------------------------TO-----------------PIN#28-----------------
PIN#10-------------------------------TO-----------------PIN#20-----------------
PIN#30-------------------------------TO-----------------PIN#37-----------------
PIN#31-------------------------------TO-----------------PIN#26-----------------

ALL these circuits should have continuity and carrey a Load Between them doing this will verify the condition of the Wires

The FICM plug you will be probing is the closest one to fron of truck FICM sitting install position

The PCM IDK what one maybe try to trace wires from Ficm to PCM by Driver Battery and locate it that way I have a Pic it wont let me Post it here


Normaly the Pins are Numbered on the Plug END you can see numbers when you unplug it


CLEAR AS MUD RIGHT???????

Scan for DTC maybe a helpful one my pop up too

Hope you find something

A load test would be using a Light and the battery strip a peice of wire and hook to battery positive and plug into harness and hook the light at other end basicaly want to make these circuits in question to carrey a Load across it the light should be bright and NO Flicker

But test continuity first as thats the easiest

Its best to use a BIG Light Bulb for Loasd Test pull as much juice as possible over it

them little test lights dont pull much

I think Cheezit has a HeadLight rigged up for this kinda testing
