Yep, just like the title says, dead as a doornail.
Heres the story:
A wile back my superchips 3815 got stuck in boot mode so i sent it in, and they fixed it. But when i got the tuner back it couldnt read my truck because my truck was on the 89 tune sooo... i called superchips again and they sent me the fix through a superchips update.
So i loaded the update and plugged it into my truck, all was going well, and it said the vehicle was back to stock so i unplugged it. I wanted to program for 91 tune so i read the truck stock, but when it told me to turn on the ignition it said it "couldnt verify ignition on" or something like that. so i tried a few more times and it still didnt work.
THEN i unplugged the POS tuner and turned the key... NOTHING, the radio and dash lights come on, but she does nothing, no click, nothing, the overhead also just shows a line.
I unhooked the battery, but it still wont work!
What do you guys think? Did i fry the comuter?
I cant get a hold of superchips until tomorrow and i have to get to school somehow...
Superchips has been really helpful up to this point, and I hope they continue to be good to me especially if it costs money out of their pocket...

 

you can try the PCM fuse...i think its like #47 or #48 under the hood..dude that sucks!

 

i checked the fuses... they all look good... thanks for the idea tho

anyone else?

 

**** man that sucks. sorry to hear that. im no help. bump

 

 

Since it read your stock tune an then had a malfunction during the writing of the new tune, have you tried resetting your truck back to stock? I would think that the stock tune would be on your tuner since the error occured after the stock tune was extracted from your truck.

 

the truck is set at stock right now... i cant try to set it back to stock or anything else because the tuner doesnt know know when the key is on... and i have to do that goofy *** key sequence to set a tune...

 

i wasent saying the fuse was blown, you can pull the fuse, turn on the key, wait for all the light on dash to go out, then put fuse back in...resets the PCM

 

Did you unplug before it was finished? Can't verify ignition, most of the times means, you don't have the key turned all the way to the ON position.

Plug the tuner in again and try to tune. Make sure the key is turned all the way.

yeah... the key was turned all the way, and i didnt unplug until it told me to...
and i pulled all fuses that said ignition or pcm and turned the key... nothing

another weird thing... usually when i turn the key to the run position, the usual dash lights come on, but then turn off after a few seconds, now they just stay on...
