I'm trying to chase down a short to ground issue that I think I have narrowed down to either the RJM EFI Harness or the Denso starter (automatic version). Two issues that I can't figure out if they are correct:
1) The wiring for the Denso starter has a wire going from the starter side of the solenoid to the "small" connector on the starter as described in the following instructions:
http://www.svapowerproducts.com/html/ford_pmgr_retro_fit_instructio.html
(although my starter does not have the same look to the example Denso Starter).
If I hook up a continuity meter between the ground and this small wire, I get continuity indicating that it's connected to ground. Should this be the case?
2) On the RJM EFI Harness, I have a similar issue, but with the purple wire labeled "EFI Start" that should be hooked up to a start signal (in my case the S terminal of the starter solenoid). It also has continuity between ground and the terminal. Is this also correct?
I started down this road chasing a short on the under dash wiring harness related to the turn and marker signals and found very weird (at least to my expectations) interconnectivity to ground.
Any input? BTW, the truck starts and runs fine... I want to double check these two situations before I fry something.
Thanks, Tim
