Truck died one day and wouldn't start. After replacing 200 bucks worth of sensors no luck. I check the power to ASD relay and there is nothing. That ended up being a fuse so no worries. Downer is the ASD relay still remains opened and won't let power through. I jumped a wire from 30 to 87. Truck starts but runs rough and on sometimes when I turn my key off the truck will stay on. No check engine light. I did the trick of turning the key to on and off 3 times to get a code. Don't recall of the top of my head but it says something is wrong with the wiring to ASD and other fuses. Could this be the Fusible link? If so where are they located?

That's what I thought but the PCM still has a ground to the relay everything is powered up. But if a put a relay on it closes like it should but then opens back up. Like I said can't get any codes except the wiring issue code.

do you have a friend with same truck to try a different pcm? They can be tricky, with when they want to work or not.

My truck has been doing the same thing for the past month. I've narrowed it down to the computer. Should be going to pick one up later today. I'll update this if all goes well.

Figured it out. Check out the cable going from the battery to the fuses

Glad you made it work, connections can come loose over time. Always good to double check.

Glad to see you also got yours running. I forgot to update the other day. I threw a new computer in and it fired right up.

I may have to. It starts now. I'm gonna try replacing the torque converter. It fires up. And idles but if I put it in gear it squeals and then dies. Unless I give it gas and kind of force to go.
