    What is an "ignition power feed" ?

    I have 12v keyed hot, 12v constant, and ground at pins 4, 5 and 6. (40 pin)

    Load tested to 10 amps
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Datalink is coming from the ECM, the ECM is not receiving anything from your truck.


    Do you have a 40 pin diagram?

    Question: where does the signal from the truck come from? And will not having this zignal from the truck keep the ecm from powering up?

    The cat guys saud theres a module of some kind in the truck but i dont see one. And ive never seem one in My n14 classic FL either?

    The signal is the ignition supply "keyed on" you mentioned.

    I would check all three with a piercing clip and ECM connected, key on.

    Ok. Sorry i misunderstood that. If so, the only other thing i could imagine would be a loose or damaged female connector at the harness.

    Common on Detroits, not as much on CAT's
     
    2tonchevy Thanks this.
