If you leave the doors open for around 45 minutes, the battery save mode kicks in and shuts the lights off. While working on the truck I have had occasion to cycle this many times without ill effect on the battery.

If you search " factory amp location" on the board, you will get more info than you probably wanted to know about it. Chances are, if your new head unit was wired into a premium sound system harness, it was not done with the necessary level reduction circuitry (small black box) in line with the...

There is a single amplifier behind the rear panel on the opposite (passenger) side. Did your factory head unit have 2 connectors on the harness? (one single strip gray, and the other square black)? Tom

Sounds to me like your new HU is overdriving the factory amp. This assumes you have connected directly to your in-dash wiring via an adapter. If the head unit was connected directly to your speakers this would probably aleviate the problem. If you are comfortable with finding and splicing wires...

Had the same problem recently, new plugs (Autolite double platinums) and new wires were the fix. Cleaned the MAF while I was in the neighborhood. MPG's went from 15 and change, up to just under 19. Plugs and wires are cheap compared to the time you might spend trying to diagnose a problem with...

I have a similar thing going on with a '97 OHV 5 speed auto, seems to stumble (almost like the coil pak power is interupted for a split second) on climbing hills or under light acceleration at hiway speeds. Since I just picked this truck up a few months ago, I have no idea about its history. I...

better retrace that wiring...and don't keep turning that new unit on...you are going to cook it...if you have a meter..what is the battery voltage? Tom

Hmmm...help me out a bit here...1: does the vehicle start ok?...2: did you have the doors open (and interior lights on) for a long time while you were doing the install?...how old is the battery? you will hear relays click when you turn on the key, this is normal...if they are chattering it...

Heh...2 FT of snow, and my ride is still in the shop...go figure.

Thanks for the quick replies! tenikiwon, My impression of that Auto4WD setting is that it is by most standards an awd system or should I say on demand awd. (B/W 4405 viscous damped) correct me if I'm wrong. There was no ABS indicator apparent on the dash, there was a check engine light...

Greetings all! I am new to the board, and was wondering if I might get some of your thoughts on this. I have a '97 Sport w/Control Trac, auto trans, V6 that was exhibiting chatter in the ABS during low speed stops. Off it wen't to the shop for what the mech said was a new front sensor. This...
