truck died

[cumminskiller]

I was driving down the road and my radio was coming in bad so i figured the TS chip interfered so i reacehd down under my dash and wiggled the box a little, barely moved it, and my truck shut off, so i diconnected the batteries and pulled hte chip out, and the engine light stays on, so i put the chip back in and the engine light goes off, so the engine light is only with the chip out of the truck. all the lgihts and gauges and radio work it just keep sturning over. please help my boys

sounds to me like you fried ur ecm, cant wiggle that chip at all if the key is on....i learned the hard way, if you need a new one, id go with autozone, they are cheap and it has a warrentee for some amount of time...i dunno just my 2 cents

[cumminskiller]

I didnt wiggle hte chip, the plastic peice that holds the box isnt htere, so i made sure it wasnt danglin everywhere thats when it just shut off

[cumminskiller]

how much did you pay for the ecm

[96EDGEpsd]

i cant remember but it was somwhere around 100 bucks

Is it all fixed up now 96? And what was the problem, did the ECM die on you?

yea, it happend a few months ago when i first intalled my chip, i gave it a wiggle and didnt kno that the key was on, shorted the ecm out, got a new one, never a problem since
