The ecm and tcm in both must communicate with each other. Sometimes data circuits go through other modules between the two. Unplug one module the entire chain is broken and no communication. There is also a accessory wake up signal (dark blue wire) that may need hooked up.it's a 12v+ signal that the bcm usually provides in the stock vehicle to enable communications.

In the end, you want the ECM data wires to go to the TCM, than the TCM to the OBD2 port. (TCM Inside 6l90 trans) So ECM pins 27,28 will go to Transmission pins 11,10. Next, Transmission pins 13,14 go to the OBD2 port.

noting here, if its funny OD issues, there is a brake switch input to TCM to release the lockup i assume. should be an easy hookup if needed later.
made a floor support, bolted floor tins back in, bolted lower steering column down, mounted gas petal, affixed a brake switch and wired it it.
major progress! would be driving it tomorrow if the salt was gone!
hit list
cab marker lights in the mail
head liner install
rubber floor mat install
new wiper motors and switch in the mail, install
mount seat and raise it 2"
Post by: M4wdFab on January 05, 2019, 11:24:41 PM
electric wipers installed, adjusted, wired

Post by: M4wdFab on January 06, 2019, 10:58:36 PM
this time i went with the smaller 3' x 4' one that is a little thinner like 5/8" and has a different texture surface. 20$ worked out great.

Does Livingston county have a dmv office in Avon? That’d be handy for you.

Could throw my Golf or your ZJ on the deck and hawg instead of trailering. Titan is crated while I’m gone. You know where I keep keys.
Golf is a slow machine with the turbo limp mode thing but I bet it gets 60mpg in slow mode hahaha. Long ramps are in Joe. Welcome to any of it.
Post by: M4wdFab on January 30, 2019, 03:49:45 PM
also wana get some miles on the ram with a light tow before the 48' gets put behind it.
ill have to check on the weather down there. maybe i need a self beach day haha
