Hemi Swap into a 2nd Generation Ram
Oh i downloaded that from weedahoe awhile ago. it doesn't say what the fuses do that were blown though.
how would I check this where would the damage occur??

pull the steering column covers and look on the left side of the steering column directly opposite to ignition cylinder is the ignition switch round with wiring going into it..unbolt it...slide it off the shaft and unplug the harness and look for burn damage..normally the wire that get damages is the accesory wire for the blower motor and it melts the wires around it...and if it is melted youll require a new switch and pig tail..

Hey DDI~ Don't forget , every time you change something or do anything to you're truck , You have to reset the computer by grounding the pos.(+) to the frame for 30 seconds..
If you don't , there's a chance the computer won't recognize the change and it won't make any difference..Personally ~ I would do that every so often as you go anyway..
I know the words "Starting Over" are as fun as hearing a fat woman fart. BUT I'm starting to think that somehow the wiring harness you used has a wire crossed or going to the wrong place..I could be wrong , there are only two way's to be sure..One ~ Trace every wire starting with C~1 , #1 .... (OR) ~ Take out the complete harness , Plug everything in where each plug goes , Then CUT all the wires going to the truck and PDC .. Manually wire them where they go...That's what I did. If you look at either one of my threads you'll see an *** of wires laying across the motor and marked..
It's the easiest and only way to make sure the wires go where there supposed to without any question..
ALL YOU have to do is find the wires from the PDC and Cab then hook them up..
I don't know if you can bypass the alarm or not , I don't even know if this would be the best thing to do , or the solution "But it is a choice if all else fails"....
I could make a complete wiring harness with PDC ~ TCM and 03' Dash harness , But it would take some time and I couldn't do it free of charge..."AND"~You would still have to wire it into you're truck body..
BTW~ Was the PDC on you're truck the same kind I had in my Dak. ? Different from the 03' style .. The reason I'm asking is ~ When I built my Dakota I had to stay with that PDC , Because of the Internal fuse box..The 03' don't have one , so the same fuses on the inside are also on the out side if you use an 03' PDC...Think about it..

I was out looking at EMS systems from Mopar and ran accros this web site, I have no idea if it applys to what you are doing, but I thought I should post it for you. Is there any way to go to an aftermarket pcm to solve his problem?

well yeah same as
http://www.hotwireauto.com/ and http://www.hotrodlane.cc/
they are plug and play. you either buy a computer from them or you send them yours and they do the flash work. its probably the easy way out if you have $1100.00 or so for the harness and $695.00 for the computer. and it looks like bouchillion's are swapped around
