    Nick, everything you show seems so simple after you explain it 😀. Yes, I hope you can show us the rocker replacement when the time comes. All the best to you…. 👍👍😎👍👍

      I'm not a fan of chopping up a harness. Makes more sense to me to dig around in the schematics to learn where things are going and make the connection at an established junction point. Had a number of DMs asking to do a video on the rockers - we will. Have a great weekend Joel! 👍

    My 93 has been sick in all of the ways yours was. I just changed my speed sensor to no avail. The overdrive works but no speedo, AC is a similar situation. Only works when it wants to, gonna try this hardwire hack. Thank you so much. At my own risk of course.

    • @iNVisionPrototypes
      @iNVisionPrototypes  2 года назад

      Hi, First check the grounds at the PCM.. if all good check what voltage you are getting at the speed sensor as well as the speedo. Could be a loose wire issue. For the A/C - disconnect the computer(in case that isn't the problem) set the AC to MAX and just touch the jumper together momentarily while the truck is running to see if the compressor clutch engages. Some or all elements of the PCM could be dropping out. If it's totally dead you would have lost charging as well. Hope things work out for you.

    Hi, I would like a page turning video of the schematics. I found your videos (all) very helpful thus far. My PCM is toast....and so I'll be doing all that you did. The more information I have the better, hence the request. Thanks, Ben

    Wow, That was almost unexpected, like getting your order correct at a drive thru! Lol. Welcome to the world I lived in Nick for 38+ years. Electrical, like an automatic can only go from bad to worst. Best Practices is confirm all complaints, then stare at the schematic until you find a common spot where “If this fails, then you have every problem” Congratulations Nick. Did you feel like handing out cigars?
    I have no idea why, but Dodge built cars with the battery in front of the wheelhouse and this 92-94 is when OBD-II was rolled out, thanks to the the California Air Research Board or CARB. Funny, but they get the best ditch weed down there.
    I am glad it was not gas as a whole bunch more happens.
    Building a car, working the metal and moving it is talent. God only knows you have paid yours dues, like make something to find out it was upside down? I am old enough to use schematics in the back of the service manual that folded out 10 pages. Left was head lights, center was dash and the last page was tail lights.
    I have worked on cars I can’t pronounce that air men would bring from other countries. Then, one guy own 3 use car dealers, he brought me the DMC DeLorean to repair. Mustang front and Volvo-Peugeot engine/transaxle. And FIAT X1/9th. There is a car to forget.
    You are a busy guy so I won’t bore you. I wish I could snap my fingers and get my 40 years back! Best of luck!

      You're not a bore Dean! I always love chatting with viewers... learn something new every time. It might take some time but I read and reply to all comments. I learned to read the schematics in my Dad's "Glen's New Auto Repair Manual" from the 60's while most kids my age at the time would read comics. LOL!

      One day after I charged the a/c with Freon and turned the truck on, I got a lot of smoke coming from the fusible links area and a strong electrical smell. I lost all my gauges, ignition, a/c, water in fuel light, wait to start light and speedometer. After I fixed the blown fusible link, I got all gauges back except speedometer. Everything else didn’t work. I’m pretty sure the computer burnt up during the incident. But I wired the a/c as shown in your video, and it works again. I’ll be doing the grid heaters next, then the speedometer. Then I should be set. I prob won’t need the water in fuel light. I’ll just drain it here and there regularly.

    Would deleting the pcm all together have any impact on the crank shaft position sensor ?

    • @iNVisionPrototypes
      @iNVisionPrototypes  10 месяцев назад +1

      CPS is used to tell the PCM if the engine is running. That way the PCM's internal regulator would control the alternator. If you deep six the PCM your alternator won't charge. You'll need to add an external fire wall mounted regular and follow the steps I show in this video ruclips.net/video/sChQDthPZAA/видео.html Hope this helps.

    Would it be the same for the ac on a 1990 they had slightly different computer systems than the 91.5-93s

    • @iNVisionPrototypes
      @iNVisionPrototypes  6 месяцев назад +1

      Sorry, I can't tell you for sure. You may need to open the harness around the AC relay and trace wires

  • @SpencerVanSlyke
    @SpencerVanSlyke Год назад +1

    Hey when you said the ac used to run through that relay, did you by pass the relay or what did you do about that wiring?

    • @iNVisionPrototypes
      @iNVisionPrototypes  Год назад

      The AC still uses the relay to operate. Blue/Orange comes from the relay and used to go into the computer. The computer would control the relay's ground. As I mentioned in the video, just connect the blue/orange directly to the brown wire. I used a black wire as a reminder to me that the blue/orange is now being grounded. After 10 years one forgets a few things. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

      @@iNVisionPrototypesgreat video but I have another question, that brown wire that goes out into the harness that you connected the blue wire to.. is that just a ground wire since that blue wire is the ground control for the relay? Or does it go to something like the low pressure switch? I found out the hard way by just permanently grounding that blue wire that the compressor does function, but never cycles and freezes the evaporator.. any input would be great!

      AC or Pre-Heat? If for AC check your relay to make sure it's good. You can stick one of the other 2 relays in as they are the same. When ground is applied to the relay it should engage the compressor when you set the HVAC controls to MAX AC, AC or Defrost.

    So when I hook the blue orange to the brown wire, I get nothing. When I ground the blue orange wire compressor won't turn off. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but mines a 92 if anybody knows what's going on

    • @iNVisionPrototypes
      @iNVisionPrototypes  5 месяцев назад

      Hi Clint, When you connected the blue orange to brown, did you go in the truck and turn the HVAC controls onto MAX AC or defrost? That should engage the compressor manually.(from what I recall... been a few years... the brown is a ground that the HVAC selection of MAX AC and defrost option creates. Hi Lo pressure control switches will keep the compressor happy. You just have to remember to turn the AC off when you shut down the truck by selecting off, vent, heater. Otherwise you'll be starting the truck with AC engaged... a little harder on the starter. Let me know how that works out.

    • @clint351mx
      @clint351mx 4 месяца назад

      Yes. I cycled all the cold side ac components, the compressor never comes on hooked up to the brown wire. If I ground the orange and blue straight to the chassis the compressor runs even with the ac off.... I'm lost.
