HEy guys i currently have a 96 dodge ram 1500 with the 318 in it and 2 wld. i recently had some mechanics put in a new motor but put a different year wiring harness in and its causing the gauges to not work and is throwing the check engine light on, for the throttle positioning sensor. my question is does anyone know were i can find this part?

 

Welcome to the site. I will move tis thread to the second generation Ram section,
FF

 

What year harness did they put in, and just why would they do such a thing?

 

www.car-part.com

It is basically a listing of all the junkyards in america. You search by zip code and the part you need. Should cost about 200-250.

The place you had the work done should fix that IMO.

OR

Go to a junkyard, have them order one. THey have a computer inventory and they can get it ordered from another junkyard. Make sure it is just the engine/tranny wiring harness, and they don't try to rip you by giving you EVERYTHING WITH A WIRE under the hood. Even the PDC and headlight wiring. THey did that to me. Ended up spending 600 dollars for the whole shebang. Much more than I actually needed.

This MUST match:
Model/year
Engine/tranny
Wheel drive (must match your truck's wheel drive, 2x4 or 4x4)

Missing ONE of those will throw everything off.

 

welcome to the site.....good luck
