Well truck wont start... fml

Cluster won't work. It illuminates, the check engine light will illuminate. But no gauges functioning and no gear indicator.
Loads up the tune fine. No DTC's.

Truck cranks for days, fuel pumps working, aftermarket gauges working.

I'm pissed.

 

good going

 

Sounds like something stupid is disconnected

 

Go over all your grounds

 

I hate myself. I've checked every fuse. pulled every auxiliary wire I've hooked up.

At first I suspected the grounds on rear of motor that everyone manages to mess up.
I can feel them connected with my hands, but no visual because the blower is in the way. I may end up pulling the blower to look

 

So does it have spark at any coil/plug?

Do any of the sensors report odd numbers when cranking like MAF/MAP???

Does brake cleaner or starting fluid make it start?

You say the pump is working but is fuel actually spraying from the injectors?

 

I hate to say this but it's been sitting a while now no? When I had mine apart years ago in my garage a ******* mouse got under the outside power distribution center ( fuse box ) and ate a bunch of ****... wires have some kind of cooking like oil in the outside coating they apparently love to eat... may be worth checking real quick, as it's pretty easy to flip over
If it makes u feel any better, since I got back from New England dragway almost a month ago now I can't find the redrocket s keys... think my 17 month old son threw them out...

 

Funny how I asked him the same things

Start running your own grounds from the negative batter cable to the front of the cylinder head, frame to engine, battery to frame. You shouldve done this already btw. Also charge your battery.

If you think its rich, then hold the gas pedal all the way to the floor and try to start it. If it is actually rich then it will start for a couple seconds then die. Putting the pedal to the floor (or >80%) disables the injectors during cranking.

 

To be honest I haven't assessed spark or trying to pump it full of starting fluid. I assumed if I got the cluster to function then the issue would be resolved.

 

Christ. yeah I hope it's not a mouse. I'll investigate tomoro. I had to walk away. I was too angry.
