The excerpt below is from the forum sticky on maintenance issues. The harness corrosion problem is supposed to affect '93 thru '95 model years, but I have to think '92 models had similar if not the same wire harness features. You mentioned that your truck dies when making a left turn, to me that suggests a possible problem with an intermittent connection.

Truck will not start.- A common problem in the trucks, primarily ones made between 1993 Through 1995, was failure (corrosion) of the splice that feeds battery power to the automatic shutdown (ASD) and fuel pump relays. If these relays do not get battery power, your truck will not be able to start. This could also cause intermittent problems, or could possibly "kill" the truck when driving down the road. The splice is located underneath the Power Distribution Center (PDC), which is the black box located behind the battery. To Troubleshoot

Another common problem is a bad fuel pump or bad wires/feed. Go HERE to Troubbleshoot.

Actually I've found out what the whole issue was. The killshots on the left turn was the ignition signal wire rubbing against the yoke in the steering neck. (x)teen zipties later that's fixed. I researched and read there was a correlation between the "BRAKE" and "ABS" light coming on at the exact same time the pump was being a Drumpdick... (Yes. I hate Drump. I give no $***s of anyone's opinion on it) So I replaced the speed sensor, bled the brakes and haven't had any issues for a few days now. Well... other than the occasional master fuse link wanting to burn down the truck at every last corner...
