No charge, OD, A/C, WTS Etc.

Hello, Very infomative site. Hope you folks can help. I have a 93 D-350 auto. Had a no start situation, Got that part fixed(2 Ign. switches later). Anyhow, Now I have nothing as far as title says. Tested plug for PCM, have no power there. Kinda lost on what to do from there. Dont want to chase things around if I do not to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PCM controls all those things, I believe.

To clarify, I tested the PCM plug as per the sticky. I have no power at cavity 3 with key off. Nor do I have power at cavity 9 with key on. So I am assuming something is not letting power to the PCM plug. Dont know too much about electrical on autos. Have fixed 1 fusible link to wire #1 on ignition switch ayesterday when I put the new switch in. Need to know where power comes from for PCM plug. Thanks!

There's another fusible link that feeds #3. Do you have power on the shutdown solenoid with the key on?>

There's a couple harness connectors back past the fuel filter, check them out for possible reasons why you have nothing on #9. #3 is another fusible link, there are a bunch of 'em.

Checked the harness by the fuel filter, didnt find anything out. Ran out of daylight while looking for the fusible link for #3 cavity. any pointers on where the fusible link is for #3 cavity. Harness still has all the factory loom and tape on it. Or do I just need to open the harness up. Thanks once again!
