Members guitargod0dmw Posted January 9, 2008 Members Share Posted January 9, 2008 It sounds like you've got a few things wrong. If the computer is to blame, I doubt that is the only thing wrong. Is your tranny even electronically controlled? The turn signals shouldn;t have anything to do with the comp either...but I could be wrong I suppose. Same with the brake light fuse...

Members bassordeath Posted January 9, 2008 Members Share Posted January 9, 2008 Check connection to the brake light fuse. probably unrelated. The PCM (powertrain control module) should be checked. Sounds like it is fried and has defaulted to a "limp-home" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassordeath Posted January 9, 2008 Members Share Posted January 9, 2008 You will need a Diagnostic system to check the PCM. Call your local autoshops and ask if they have a diag system that will read your truck. Or, if you are cheap, find out where they have them and make a visit after hours. You are sure to find a mechanic that will hook it up and check it for you for a couple of bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
