Need help quick!
I took out my IDM to do the 140v mod, got too scared to actually do it so i went to put my IDM back in, hooked back up the batteries and the truck wont start now. It just cranks. I didn't do anything but pop the top off the IDM. How could i have fried it?

Check all the fuses under the hood and the ones under the dash.
If that is all you did you shouldn't have fried it. Double check the plug connections.
I assume you had the batteries disconnected and the key off when you unplugged it and replugged it back in?
Does the tach move any when cranking?

Sorry guys, i didn't mean to scare anyone. I was super scared myself. haha. Me and electricity dont get along very well. Thats why i didn't actually do the mod. I didn't want to screw it up. I'm gonna need some help with this mod. Does anyone live in Washington that can help me?

ya, I was wondering if any local computer or tv repair shops would do it around my area. I haven't sealed it back up, so I will make some calls and see what i can find. The problem is i just dont have the soldering skills i need to work in that small of space.

I just looked in the phone book and couldn't find any computer or television repair places in town. I would have to take a drive somewhere which would be sorta hard with the idm outta the truck haha.
scratch that! i found a place in town that might be able to do it.
