2001 LX just died

I had to go straight to the battery for the bypass to work, Medtro's instructions laid that out.

Interesting. Did you inspect the EFI fuse slot for signs of burning or melting?... other than checking for blown fuse. Did you totally bypass the EFI fuse and go to the battery imstead?

No didn't because I dont know how. If I had a picture of how to do it I could but I really dont want to mess it up more without knowing exactly how to do it. Thats why I didn't do the POST51 that Medtro said to do.

From that post, take a wire and go from terminal F to the + battery post.

right but what wire? Does it have to be a certain gauge? and do I need a ring for the battery side and just a spade connector for the F side? When I go to auto store website there are many different types of wires.

A fused wire with a spade on one end and a connector like a ring to go on battery post.

You can just hold pretty much any wire in place while someone else tries to start the truck and see what happens. If it does, then you can worry about how to fix it more permanently.
