Help... electrical issue
I just finished my converter swap and truck runs great except when the headlights come on... then it kicks on my fans, trips some codes and reduces power. I can cut off the headlights, clear the codes and it's back to normal... I pulled the relays for the fans and they look ok so IDEAS????

fans are totaly disconnected and the problem still occurs.... It only does it when the headlights are turned on. The running lights don't trip it only the headlights and all 4 come on. I need this ASAP

If I pull the realays for the headlamps it still happens but I can turn them off clear the codes and it's normal again. But If I pull the fuses by the relays, leave the relays in then it still happens and won't kick out of REP mode, even when I clear the codes it immediately limps again with headlights off. WHAT GIVES???

Not necessarily, if two wires are shorted to each other, and you turn something on and provide power or ground to one of those wires, it will affect the other wire. Since this problem occured immediately after the transmission was removed, it makes me think you should go back and look at everything involved with that repair. It sounds like you have a short somewhere, unless there is a bad ground and turning the headlights on causes some sort of feedback? I'd visually inspect the harness, especially on the left side of the engine since you're getting codes for the left bank and TPS, which are on the left side.

I will look again in the morning but there really isn't any wires that run between the motor and trans there that could have been messed up. Also found out today it does it when the a/c kicks on.... I know it is a short, checked all fuses in the cab and underhood. If I can't figure it out in the morning it's off to the dealership at $79.95 an hour
