    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...





    heres what i found




    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

    no idea why the pin pushed in....
