My '96 1500 died on the road a few weeks ago and I'm trying to get it revived. It shut down like turning off the key. Have done a lot of trouble shooting and have a question about the gear indicator switch.
The manual says to check for continuity to verify operation. Neutral is good. 2,3,and 4th gear show about 60-70 ohms when connected, but 5th (OD) is about 5k ohms. Is there supposed to be this much difference? Would it cause an issue in the ECU and make the engine quit?
Thanks
p.s. the engine is not getting fire, but haven't found a short or open yet.
