And also after reading what you were saying a little closer about you not seeing that no buss message all the time, there’s probably a good chance you don’t have a bad computer, just a bad connection more than likely.

I clean the battery terminal but the problem is the same
But when i disconectd the battery terminal i don’t switch on the light so i try another time...
I check another thing
When i turn in the inition the light goes in For a few second
I change all the lamp with a led bulb and i put on all a resistor for delete the error lamp on dash
Do you think if is possible the resistor is the probelm?

I don’t know if your PCM is bad, I’m just saying that from what I Googled, if you’re seeing a “no buss” message, that it supposedly means your dash, or in other words your instrument panel cluster has lost communication with your truck’s computer. That could be either in bad wiring somewhere, or a bad connection somewhere either from your pcm or from your cluster, or you could have a bad computer. Also I read that the connection harnesses at the computer itself were supposedly prone to corrosion inside the connectors.

I would start at the computer and check connections. Make sure you unhook both battery cables first, and cycle your ignition on and off, and turn your headlight switch on and off after you unhook the battery to make sure you depleted all residual power before you go messin with those computer connectors because if you didn’t have a bad pcm before, you might then. And once you let the magic smoke out, it’s toast.

Ok
I read many times to understand well what do you mean and now it’s ok
So the computer that you say is the pcm on the left side of the engine, the passenger side?
What i can use to clean the connection?
Thanks
