Hi,

You've been busy. I tried to find a layout of the PCB and there is nothing. Based on what you have already done, I feel funny suggesting this because likely you already have done it. However, check for cracks or burnt spots in the PCB. They can be hard to find, but use a magnifying glass to get an up-close look. You may be able to find it if there is one.

Let me know.

Hello!

One quick question or idea I have. What if I hook the PCB back up to the truck and turn the key on, if the relay is bad when I use the tester it shouldn't do anything, should it?

Hi,

That is correct. Please keep in mind there could be an issue related to the PCM providing a ground path to the primary side of the relay. That would be something other than a relay issue.

Let me know.

Okay, so, I got home and put the TIPM back together and reinstalled it in the truck. I turned the truck to run but didn't start it so that way I could check the fuses again. Low and behold fuse 70 has power and pin 25 is good. The truck started right up, no problem. Any thoughts?

Hi,

If I had to guess, the problem is the TIPM. Either there is an internal solder joint cracked or the connector itself is faulty. The best thing to do is put it back together and make short trips from home to see if there are any more problems. There is a chance a connector pin wasn't making good contact, and removing it and reinstalling it allowed it to make a better connection.

If it happens again, my first suspect is the TIPM.

Let me know if things change and thank you for the update.

Take care,

Joe

Ben,

No problem whatsoever. Hopefully, you simply created a better connection, and the problem is gone. LOL

Regardless, take care of yourself, and feel free to come back anytime in the future.

I have the truck listed above that will stall out when I hit a bump. It will crank but not turn over. I had talked with someone on here before and thought I we had figured it out. Before I wasn't getting any codes. Now I am getting a P0688. I have blown 3 fuses to the fuel injectors. With my diagnostic scanner it will give me a wiring diagram to follow, but I'm a little stumped on what F342 is or K51. Any help will be appreciated. I'm about to lose my mind with this.
