after much frustration, and money to fix my ctd, I found a major problem and am 1/2 way through the fix for it.

breif.....replaced pcm, and crank sensor. went to Dodge and had mechanic run his ODB scanner on it. found a trans N safety switch code. he crawled bellow to look andtouched the harness causing an arc thus shutting down the engine. so, I brought it home to investigate possible miniscule nicked conductors.


OHH FRICKIN NO!!!!! [:@][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=shootshoot.gif]





the neutral safety switch conductors, and the OD wire harness conductors had degraded to bare copper over a foot into the wire harness on top of the trans.....

this crap fell to pieces in my hands when I touched it.

I have removed the 5 conductors from the harness to the trans. fabricated new harness for the N safety switch and OD connectors..


will post pics when I am done.

this is a short break

 

How many times did you zap yourself playing with the harness

Glad you're getting to the bottom of the problems...hopefully this will be the last of the issues that beast gives you for a while.

 

thanks for the vote of confidence there missy!


I removed the negative battery cable as you should when working on automobile electrical systems

 

You're the second person to call me "Missy" today.

I never get called girly names like that....must be the eclipse

 

well at least you know wut it is now.

 

Glad to see that you found a problem that you could actually see is a problem.

 

test drove and it all WORKS 5 x 5!!!! [sm=happybounce.gif]



OD engages around 52mph ..thats an adjustment. need to go back and adjust kick down to proper setting too.


pics soon!

 

[sm=bounceybounce.gif] wish you had of found this before you spent all that money, but live and learn...

 

WHO HOO!!!!

 

I am suspectinmg that a new PCM was in order anyways. with the two sensors litteraly shorting out (dead short) , the old pcm may have been shorted internally too.

even installed that new crank sensor yesterday
