Hey guys,
I got a 1991 Dodge Ram 4x4 with a 318 engine and a 241D automatic Transmission.
So I dont know nothing about electrical troubleshooting, and I'd like to learn alot more.
I don't want my truck to blow up!
Plus the ladies dont like seeing check engine lights, I think it ruins the mood.
The trouble codes I get are:
12- Battery Connection
37-look at torque converter clutch solenoid circuit
41-problem with charging system.
They don't come on all the time, I'd say these codes are with me about 50% of the time I'm cruising around town. Why aren't they on all the time??
What should I start doing to diagnose these issues? I've been told check grounds and somthing called fusible links. Where are all the links and grounds at? What do they look like?
Where can I find good electrical schematics for my truck?? There are way to many options on ebay I am confused!
How do I tell which type of ignition system I have? I think its hall effect but I am not too sure.
What is a torque converter, why does it need a solenoid, and where is it located?
Thanks for reading!! All help appreciated!!
