Hello Forums:
I have a 1998 S10 with 4.3L and a standard transmission.
A wiring harness attached to the right side of the manifold
seems to have an open circuit. This wiring harness contains
the 14ga brown wire that is connected to the side of the generator.
A resistance measurement from the generator side of the brown wire
to ground shows 3K ohms.
A parasitic draw test shows that a short circuit is sending
60 ma of current through the 50A INT BAT fuse, located in the
under hood fuse box. Removing the 50A fuse decreases the current
to approximately 40 ma.
Your advice on troubleshooting this situation would be most appreciated.
