If I posted this in the wrong spot my apologies. It seemed to fit better here.
I recently added a boost guage to go with my EGT and Trans that were already installed. I was having problems with the EGT so I bought a new guage and probe set. I set up the harness similiar to some of the guage install write ups. White got quick connected to the blu with red chase in the head light switch. Black got connected to the factory ground near the parking brake. Red got connected via an add a fuse to the radio.
My new EGT guage I think is faulty since the needle is at 100. Different problem than the "Title" and I will call Autometer about that.
When I removed the factory ground to add the ring connector with the black wires I started getting an alarm sounding beep coming from a black box that has purple and black wires from it.
When I turn the ignition key on so that the truck can warm the glow plugs everything in the cab comes on as normal, ex. the radio. Once I go to turn it over though everything shuts off like it was a power disconnect.
The truck when I bought it has a remote start. The truck will start using the remote start.
Last thing, I did not disconnect the batteries during my install. For my safety I should have and hopefully doing so wouldnt have caused any problems with the pcm?
I hope one of you knows how to fix this or has experienced it before and knows the solution.
Thanks,
Kyle
