Well, the truck pooped the bed tonite, electrically speaking. I have two new batteries ( less than a month old) and an alternator that is right at a year old. I got the ABS and seat belt lights and all of my gauges went dead. I never did get a battery light.
A lot of y'all will remember the problems I had with my truck after the motor swap and it all seems to revolve around electrical problems. I've checked my harnesses that are easily accessable and they look fine. If I can get Sunday off, I plan on pulling the valve covers and looking in there for anything.
I'm starting to consider rewiring the whole truck with new(ish?) harnesses. I've gone through 3 xfer case motors due to a wiring issue somewhere, an engine harness, several alternators and need new batteries every two years or less.
Does anyone know of any good places to buy new(ish?) wiring harness for my model of truck? Anyone know of any good mechanics in the Long Beach/Huntington Beach, Ca. area? I'm working 84 hrs a week (as usual) and just don't have the time for this. I either need to get it fixed right or I'll be parting out a pretty damned strong motor and extra goodies I have for the compound set up. It seems like everytime I get the truck running right, another electrical phantom shows up.
And to top it all off, my AE won;t connect to my truck right. It says it's too heavy or some crap. Tried all the different communication modes.
