A picture or at least wiring color would be worth quite a bit.

two blackwires running from the passenger side right under the battery tray. Looks like sometype of junction plate two wires come from postive side of the pass battery to the this junction plate the two plug in on the otherdife of the this plate and is wrapped in conduit to driverside right in fron of valve cover. One note the wires coming from the pass battery going to this junction plate has in fusible links. sorry no pics.

Thanks

I'd take it back to the WM and chew the mgr a new hind end about it. Make him pay to have your truck batteries hooked up right at a dealership or capable shop. And then learn your lesson from here on out. NEVER, repeat, NEVER take a vehicle to WM for anything other than to park in the lot while the wife is in there getting stuff for future garage sales.

Is this harness not for the battery temp sensor. These reside under the battery.

BINGO!!!!! I don't why they would undue. but sure enough.. I called today and took it back up there to show them, and also gave them a" What the He**" . They just look like ummmm...ummmm I took it a dodge delaer and Walmart Paid for it. I had notice yesterday and today lights were not dimming when first started. The 2 hot wires were just dangling down I taped them yesterday to insure they did not arc against anything . Anyhow Thanks to all of the suggestions and helping me find the Grid heater connection

Way to go. Someone who lives close by please stop in and give this guy a pat on the back.


Years ago, my sister took her truck to Sears to get the trans fluid changed. On the way home it just stopped, plus she said it seemed to be smoking a bit. The idiot (I won't call him a mechanic and disrepect actuall mechanics) drained the fluid, replaced the filter, then poured 5 quarts of fluid into the oil dip stick tube. Her tranny was melted inside. It's a wonder it ever moved out of the parking lot being that low. Of course with the engine being full of trans fluid, you know Sears wouldn't stand behind it. Cost her $2K.
