Clock resets automatically - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

BEATERYOTA666 · 08-06-2012, 08:54 PM

I'm working on an '86 pickup that has been converted to EFI. The clock resets every time the key is turned off. I havent had much luck using the wiring diagram to chase shorts, but am leaning towards the main circuit opening relay as a potential culprit. The truck that donated the EFI was an 85 pickup. Thanks for any help

why did you move a constant hot to a keyed hot when blending the harnesses?

if the fuses are good, make sure they sit tight in the fuse block. Some yo yo in the past may have used a fuse tap and spread the terminals out making the fuse loose.

So the Dome 7.5 fuse had a scotch block on the backside of the fuse panel that would intermittently short out off the cab. Thanks for the replies that were helpful.
