They are touching each other

They are touching each other

That is very likely. If it's not the whole problem, it's a big portion of the problem.

 

[amymartin]

I'll let you know later today going to get the replacement for it now. Thanks

 

[bobbywalter]

so it is likely a power branch issue. which can be easy. or ....

just separate them two and see if it starts

test for voltage. may just be a bad fuse..though i assume you would have found that.

but if it did dead short, it can be potentially bad from trouble shooting perspective.

 

[amymartin]

What is dead short.

 

[bobbywalter]

potentially what you have there.

power directly to ground .... in this case potentially the 58 and 59 were grounded sticking the injector drivers...they operate via ground.

 

[amymartin]

Does that mean the injector are bad or better yet if that's the case how do I go about finding a solution for it.

Hopefully, repairing or replacing the wiring will fix it. There is a remote possibility that this could have messed up the ECU. Electronics components don't like to see the high current caused by a short circuit. Fix the wiring and see what happens next.

 

[amymartin]

I fixed the wire and still not starting.

 

[amymartin]

In addition 159 is the newest code after I fixed the wire doesn't that mean that the ecm is still working since it's giving me a new code on top of the other, 565,556,566,629

 

[nickname23]

Well that's a MAF Code which could cause ano start.
I'd check your sensors including CPS how was the truck performing beforehand?

 

[nickname23]

In fact that looks like a bunch of shorts including fuel pump etc.
Keep checking ground and relays see if certain sensors are actually getting powered

I fixed the wire and still not starting.

Was that the only one?

 

[amymartin]

It has sit up for over a year since it ran last but other than it just quiting out of nowhere it would sputter once the gas was low but not out and taking its time wanting to kick in reverse every now and then.

 

[amymartin]

No that's the newest one all the codes are
159,565,556,629,566
The 565 is the first one 556,629,566, were stored in memory I found them a few days after I figured out how to bring them up,and the 159 is the latest one that one didn't appear until after I fixed the wires on the injector connector end they were exposed and twisted up touching.
