Maybe a switch/ ignition cable is shorting with a positive cable?

tdj_1992 · 08-01-2009, 11:30 AM

so are you saying that the ignition switch cable is just a ground wire on a switch?

David · 08-01-2009, 12:21 PM

Well, I have a very limited knowledge, but to what I think, is it should have constant power, and switch ground, but I could be 100% wrong.

SuperNutz · 08-01-2009, 03:07 PM

also check your big ground cable on the tranny

tdj_1992 · 08-03-2009, 10:57 PM

yeah i checked all of the ground wires. there good. im just haveing a hard time trying to figure out why the body harness is getting power when the key is off.

David · 08-04-2009, 07:55 AM

Then there's a short somewhere. Or the ECU is stupid.

tdj_1992 · 08-04-2009, 11:28 AM
