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.
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

You got that one right..Sometimes sticking to basics is best..We'll know by Sunday if he wired it right...
