Ok hello again
I gave up on the idea of a trans swap and found a whole new truck already factory AT.. ,, yay,,. Bad news is its had a engine transplant from a manual truck,, so no bell crank and lots of missing vacuum lines and wires.. this aside it cranks and tries to start ,,, until earlier today, while trouble shooting some of the issues the engine stopped cranking,, the electrical puked and the dash lights all went out and it would not crank again.
If I unhook the battery neg side and reconnected it ""seems"" to reset the issue but still no crank and when I try it seems to short as before and the dash light s and power go out.. hot battery and ":"good "" connections.. I am not sure if the issue is a starter short a relay short or a dead ecu..ecm.. so I now have the right truck "AT" and the right gear but more electrical issues,,
I do know at some point in the past +- 4 years it was a running driving truck,, and it did crank till this afternoon then I got what seems to be a dead short that's killing the entire electrical system...so I guess im wondering if anyone has seen this issue,, bad ground maybe... rust, water damage from being parked,, I know I had an old VW rabbit that had a bad fuse block ""rusted " that would short like this but I don't see any issues with the fuse block on this truck...so any ideas or should I just give up now.. trying to stay positive...and be energetic..
thanks again in advance
