Hey guys,
I had posted this last year when the truck first died, and I just got around to working on it for the first time today. Here's the original link: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/478534-electrical-issue-need-ecm.html What I can't believe is that after $500 and a supposed expert mechanic worked on the truck when it first happened, he didn't even check the fusible link. If he had, he would have noticed the severed wire...ridiculous. I connected it tonight with another wire just to test it, and it cranked right up after sitting for probably close to a year. I can't believe it was something so simple. Ridiculous!
But, I wanted to make sure this was the correct part number my '97 before I tried to find it tomorrow: 90982-08264 My toyota parts store is closed tomorrow, but are these available at regular auto parts places too?
Thanks to everyone's vast knowledge on these trucks...I really appreciate it. Half a day of ripping the dash apart 3 seats, and I wasted all that time before just checking this one freakin' wire...hilarious.
Now, the big question is do I keep it or sell it like I originally had planned??
