Hey hemidak I got the computer yesterday. I got it all wired up and it still won't work. The truck won't even turn over. I am not sure what is going on the dash is blinking with the headlights and tail lights like the hazards are on. but they aren't. I'm wondering if the clockspring could be broken. The dash used to work great but it isn't showing codes anymore. It also has the tach needle and the speedo needle spun all the way around. The gear shifter doesn't seem to be working anymore. I am thinking that I may have bought a lemon in the donor vehicle. I haven't touched any wiring with the exception of the doors and seat wiring. I am stumped it had spark but now it won't even crank over possibly a bad battery. I am so stumped that I'm thinking of pulling every thing out and re-installing/checking everything.

Check your ground wires,Dodges are notorious for acting weird when the computers don't get the correct voltages or grounds.

Don't give up man. Right now your my hero for making it this far

Don't forget to double check all the fuses and relays with an ohmmeter. Just becase a fuse looks good doesn't mean it is. Maybe your old even fried a fuse or relay

your in panic mode.. step back and take a deep breath. you've been offered good advice in some posts here. have you read them? from what you said. you don't even know if you have a good battery. please don't take this the wrong way i am not trying to hurt your feelings. but you need to really read the suggestions clearly that have been put here for you and again relax and go at it with a clear out look. i tell you this because i have been through this with myself many times in my life
