Message: [QUOTE="golfer, post: 209042, member: 266"] definitely related to grounding..but may have nothing at all to do with the engine swap. we have a truck that came in for a transmission (towed in, not able to be driven)... once the trans was replaced and the truck was able to be driven...windows, locks, interior dome lights, speedo, wipers, all were ***ked...press the DS window 'up' button...speedo climbed, LOL... @ 55hrs of (actual, not billable) labor in so far, and have found: one broken wire inside drivers door wiring harness (where they pass from chassis to drivers' side door)...this wire turns out to be a common ground for a ton of chit... one bad GEM (fried from excess current related to [I]mostly[/I] broken wire, there were still 3-4 copper strands connected) . seriously explaining THAT to a customer is fun...especially when he insists that "all that chit worked" before y'all touched the trans", LOL I [B]believe [/B]him...but [B]no WAY[/B] did a trans R&R cause that wire to partially break...(and magically have lots of tarnishing on the broken strands)... get out your voltmeter and start checking resistance & continuity to ground errrrverywhere. luckily this trucks' GEM was still available new from Ford, and arrived this morning.
