I just picked up an 89 MJ a couple weeks ago that would not start. I found I had no injector pulse. Which lead me to check the stator and the ecm. I grabbed a spare ecm from my shelf and it started and runs great. I still have a few things to work out on it but for 200 bucks it runs so be it.
Anyways here is the problem I got. Everytime I turn the key on to the on position the park lamps light up. At first I figured one of the prior may have wired it that way but cannot find any eveidence of that. So I messed with it for a few hours over the week. I cleaned up grounds, including the ground behind the left taillight and replaced the ground from the battery to the bock. Made a new ground from the battery to the body. After all that was done the bulbs would light up only to a slight orange on the filament. I still need to replace the ground strap from the block to body on the rear of the head. Parts store was out the day I was there. I normally run a short battery cable there just for the overkill aspect and it is fairly cheap.
I know it must be a groung issues but I am about out of ideas on what to do to end this. Do you guys have any ideas on where I should go next? I would like to get this gremlin chased out so I can move ahead and finish the 4wd swap. I already have the dana 30 and 3 inch lift on. Thanks in advance.
