My Turn

So, you know that issue that always comes up about someones truck just shutting down when it rains..

Its my turn, anyways, before I go digging around the site to hard, to look behind the fuse panel, do I have to remove it.. Yes I know I should look, but I dont get to spend any damn time on this site anymore.. sadly.

Yes, it sets a code, no, I have NO way to read it.. Insert DP tuner add here for their new infinity, or an add for a new laptop with Auto Engnuity

Definitely check behind the fuse panel. My truck was acting weird when it rained and I found a leak on the driver side column and the water dripped right on top of the fuse panel/GEM and that is what was causing my symptoms. I took it out and took apart everything. Dried everything and use de-electric grease and made sure not to let water leak on it again and no problem since last year.

Your truck is a little long in the tooth to be worried about a windshield that wasn't sealed right way back when.

What CPS do you have in the truck, and is it the rain or the windshield wipers that cause the problem? A CEL tells me to check the CPS first.

Hey Pat great to see you again. I wish I had some help for you. If you were closer I would offer scanning it with my AE for you.

Damn, I posted this morning, early, and I don't see it now. Anyhow, Seth, never mind the AE, it would be nice if you were close enough just to have a beer.

Good call Chris, I read your post and drove to work with the wipers on, sure enough, truck stumbled several times. So, I guess replace the wiper motor before tomorrow's all day rain.

In answer to your iOS phone - WiFi OBDII adaptor (no cable) and Dash Command will read a lot of the stuff in our trucks, but I haven't found IPR yet.
