So I started with a nostart condition, on this late 99/00 pickup. 260k miles, zf6.
Replaced the starter, the relay on the fender, and the clutch interlock switch, mostly due to their age, and relative cost. Throwing parts at it, in other words.
When I go to mount the starter-with wires attached-the starter engages, i.e it's powered. That's what led to the relay, and clutch interlock switch replacement, BTW.
After talking to a buddy, he suggested a failed gem. Possible, as I did have a leaky windshield a few years ago. So I pulled the fuse panel/gem, absolutely pristine.
I put the fuseblock/gem back together, and reassembled everything under the dash, and now I have no power anywhere in the fuseblock, or at the fuseblock under the hood.:cursing:
Everything went together easily, no problems.
Unfortunately, halfway thru putting everything together, I realized the batteries were connected.
Is it possible or probable that I fried the pcm?
No power at key on, no power at any fuse, tested with a multimeter.
