TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
...Im replacing the entire electrical harness this weekend since one of my main wires caught fire the other day, I replaced it and the new wire caught fire again lol. I wanted to replace it anyway so i just bought the 400 dollar kit and will replace the whole thing....
...my windshield wipers dont work. i had the oscillation board rebuilt and bought a new switch and it worked for about 3 minutes....
...The speedo bounces and then when off it settles an inch or so below the 5 mph mark....
...the fuel gauge only goes up to a third full....
...oil pressure is pegged out....
...temp [gauge] is all the way cold...
I appreciate you breaking down all my issues and responding to all of them. My initial concern with replacing the harness was that i would just burn up a brand new harness. Then I was told that the only wires that could cause that kind of back feed were contained in the harness, so by replacing the entire harness I should be able to eliminate having to trace each wire individually. The wire that caught fire went directly from the positive battery terminal to the "power block" (i believe this is what it was called) in the center of the fire wall.
Ok, Ill be sure to go wire by wire to check for pinched burned or shorted wires. ...half of my truck has no power because my fuse box was fried. The proper diagram for me to be looking at is the ck truck 1 and 1A, then 1C through G which are the component and switch diagrams correct?Also my A/C blower just recently was acting funny, cutting on and off. Is that possibly the short? Would it have enough juice to light that wire up like a Christmas tree?
