Transmission went out. My husband put in another tranny. The truck wouldn't start wasn't getting fuel. replaced fuel pump, cam sensor, crank sensor and oil sensor. Now it will start but will only stay running if we put the 4 ways on. the back up fuse makes the test light flash. With the test light grounded under the truck everything tests hot oil pan, exhaust, etc.... The neg side of battery is getting back feed. Thank you for any help you can give.

clean battery terminal ends and recheck battery grounds to engine and body, then reset security system.

Thank you for your help. We found the ground wire from the battery to the frame was melted. We got it re-grounded and got it back on the road.
