I’ve worked my way through cruiser’s list and am still hitting a wall. 89 mj 4.0 6cyl auto. Problem started as “car keeps running after key is removed and lock cylinder switched to “”off”” position”. Upon further inspection, everything gets power when the battery is connected except for radio, accessory, and cab lights. Replaced ignition switch,coil,ICM, starter relay, o2 relay, fuel pump relay, latch relay,ballast resistor, battery + and - cables, all duct tape covered splices cleaned and properly wrapped, all connectors cleaned, c101 cleaned, grounds cleaned and/or replaced. If I disconnect, from the battery post of the starter relay, the loop connector with green fuse link to 3 red wires and/or the loop connector with both green and orange fuse link to individual corresponding red wires, power does not reach the previously affected systems. If all relays removed, ignition switch disconnected, oil and battery lights in instrument cluster still illuminate. I’ve searched for broken wires, burned tape/ connectors. If you remove the ECU the dash batt and oil lights still illuminate. Color me stumped.
Should add that I have unplugged the alternator to eliminate it as the culprit as well.
Idk if this forum is still used, but fingers crossed someone can help shine some light on this poor lost soul. The truck only has 140kmiles.
Thanks All,
Bob
