My trucks fine but during an inspection I found that a rodent ate threw three wires which go to the PCM. Im having a hard time matching these up to what I find for wire color charts. Can anyone tell me what these are for and how important it is that I repair? Its going to be a really tough job to do.
attached is a photo but as far as I can tell they are one is as I shot it and one is with some saturation added.
violet/pink
Red/Green
Green/Red (EDIT: Green/Yellow)
Note: Im assuming its the PCM.. its the connection that is attached to the firewall that has a single 10mm bolt. I think that is where I installed my Hydra tuner
Guess I will research these and see why my truck SEEMS to be working normally. According to this chart it doesnt say my e99 doesnt use the Glow plug controller output.
Edit: I dont see how my truck could be shifiting correctly.
If anyone can clarify these Id appreciate it before I spend hours trying to splice these. 2 of these have 1" of cable hanging out the pcm connector.
Ran a scan.. glow plug and trans error. However the brake lights work.
This is gonna be a hell of a job. Bought some cool splicers that have solder in the middle.. low temp solder you heat with hot air. Hope they dont melt from heat in engine bay. Luckily I have a surface component hot air solder tool.
Going to buy anti rodent tape.. not gonna risk this happening again.
Well nearly 5 hours later and I was able to use the hot air solder splicers to get the job done. It was a real pain. Ran a scan and glow plug error is gone. There are 3 brake sensors and all three work including pressure. I dont know if the transmission one works because I cant move my truck at the moment.
While I was out there I saw a squirrel running around with a baby in its mouth. I was trying to feel sympathetic but failed to do so.
Must be some big squirrels there. Shame on whoever left that baby unattended.
