2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500 (NCV3)
Well, that ECM was a biatch to get to, because it's underneath the aux battery stand in the engine compartment. I spent at least 3-5 hours today removing it. What are these people thinking placing those screws in such a way that we can't access them at all!! . I wanted to scream taking those out and putting them back in.
Anyways, nothing on ECM that looks like water damage.
(I had quite a scare before I tried to put the aux battery platform back. I thought "let me start the car and make sure I did not disconnect something from ECM by accident". Well, the engine would not turn! With a full tank, the panel showed zero gas on the dashboard! . Miraculously, after I assembled and adjusted all the connections, the car is back to the same ol' problem. Ahhhhhh, so good! )
So far:
- All the wires look clean under the steering wheel in the cabin and behind the fuse box.
- Fuse box has no damage or rust.
- ECM wires don't have any damage.
- No visible damage anywhere near exhaust under the car body.
- Testing the top sockets of fuses 2 and 8 with a tester yield infinite resistance. Does not see like a short is between 2 and 8 now.
I am ready to give up after the ECM scare and let the mechanic get some of my money
Or should I post a bounty on the short here? Whoever leads me to the short location, gets $$$. I donno.
Thank you everybody!
