pcm trouble

a few weeks ago, while i was driving my truck mysteriously shut off. i noticed that my ecm fuse had blown. at first thought, it had to be my wiring... maybe a pinched or melted wire. after taking the harness out and not finding anything, i had an idea! ill open the pcm, see if theres any signs of shorting on the board and possibly find the problem...

those two wires are the pcm battery feed and the tps ground wire, so it shorted itself quickly and safely. i moved the pin back out and got the truck running a few days ago and the pcm is fine :yay:

no idea why the pin pushed in....

nice save!

glad you got 'er running again with minimal downtime and hassle. if only it was always that easy, eh?

Wow! That can be filed under "Oddball failures". However: NICE CATCH!!!

yea, no idea how that pin moved... hadnt unplugged the pcm in over 3000 miles. it was tough to move back
