SES lit, brake lite, all the lites blinking ..no codes set.

snowsurfer

Did you ever solve this? I got a similar problem....

snowsurfer

Yes, what alarmed me the was all the warning lites, brake, etc. all were blinking. Truck was cold, overnight first start of the day...When I got to my office 8 miles and idle in the parking lot just the trans ( Park, Reverse, Drive, 3, 2, 1, lites were flickering not the warning lites. Every day so ...

snowsurfer

Just all of sudden it did this so I was alittle taken aback when all the warning lights started flashing!!!!!
I looked up another post about an alternator mod from ZR2USA AND HENRY J about the alternator sense wire....thought maybe that could be the issue also....

snowsurfer

I tried the battery cables first but they were on good....I suspected the alternator as my voltage read just shy of 13v. I've had alternators go bad before but usually the regulator and the headlites will go dim and as you gas it they get brighter but this didn't happen...I also heard a high pitch w...

snowsurfer

Got a real weird problem....Yesterday morning started truck up as I do every morning and all the dash warning lights start blinking. Shut it down, restarted it and again all the lights again are blinking. Engine runs fine so I drive it around the block as it continues to blink...get back into my gar...

Never heard of it? Where would I find it in Hawaii??? If it works great, I'll try anything....

thanks for the help and advice...

snowsurfer

no noise, looks like time to change the pump...any helpful hints in doing this?

snowsurfer

Thanks, I checked those already all good, swapped AC relay with pump relay no change....got spark, fuel in the tank, turns over strong (battery), anything I missed?
Trying to do everything before having to drop the tank......
Thanks for the help...

snowsurfer

where's the fuel pump fuse located 03 crew?

snowsurfer

Don't do any off roading, just a daily driver to/from work about 20 freeway miles what's the best replacement shock.

Anyone heard of Hyper Cool? It's suppose to be a better coolant than the Dex Cool that we have from the factory.. Good or Bad???
Anyone with any problem with the stock Dex Cool?? I know there's a few lawsuits floating around because of it...

snowsurfer

I've owned S10's for over 23 years & love them. Done V8 swaps on a half a dozen and SC on my last two, 2001 & 2003. Like someone said earlier, it all boils down to how much $$$ you want to spend. I reccommend that you set a limit of what you can spend and then work from there as to what you can get ...

snowsurfer

Thanks again , will do it when I get home from work....

snowsurfer

Thanks Ill try that. Actually it was the passenger side(my wife), she always uses the mirror. Thanks again, I'll probably just cut the power. Wonder how one would change the bulb, lens seem easy to crack...

Any one know how to take off the vanity lite and mirrow on the visor?
My cover broke off at the hinge so now it won
t push the pin down to shut the lite off....

snowsurfer

wheres the best place to order one of theses?

snowsurfer

I don't off road nor do I race but my experience with E fans are that they cool the eng temp real good and probably a tiny bit gained on performance. The only objection I had was it didn't seem to cool my AC as good. Again maybe it's just my application and no heavy duty off roading or anything but ...

Outside top cab third brake lite inop? Replace blown fuse still no stop lites on top of cab, any ideas? All other lites work, brake lites work on tail ok just inop on top back of cab? Any idea's appreciated?

So what's the make up of your exhaust? What type mufflers, size pipe etc??

snowsurfer

I run a LS6 MAF along with a mild Supercharger. Tried with both the stock MAF and LS6 and it seems like the top end has more go...I'm no expert but I figure that with the additional air the LS6 can read more air intake thus telling the PCM to allow more fuel. I also have LS1 edit that also helps wit...

I had to replace mine when someone tried to steal my wheels and couldn't get the locks off, screwed up the threads.... Take the caliper off and hang it , put a small block of wood so the brakes don't depress, spin the hub so the stud head can clear the dust plate, lube it, pound out the old stud. Pu...

Well, got my truck back after 10 days at the dealer, the TCCM module was bad as suspected. I actually called prior to taking it in to see if it was in stock and it was. Unknown to the dealer he told me the part needed to be ordered.....Soon after I told him I spoke to the parts department and was to...

snowsurfer

OUCH!!!! Wow!!! What a mess.... Well had some time today, tried the #13 pin to ground thing, no lites lit up at all so couldn't check if any codes. Tried the 1/2 hr disconnect also, no luck, still no lites. I have an appointment next Wednesday at the dealer best I rob a bank before I go...Hopefully ...

snowsurfer

I disconnected the battery for over a half hour, checked all the vac lines but still nothing lites up on the switch. When I was driving home from work later that day the lites came on but very weak since I was on the freeway I couldn't try engaging it in 4wd. Pulled off to get gas and try the 4 x 4....

snowsurfer

Yep, I guess that's the best bet....It just bothers me..I believe I'm still under warantee, purchased 8/3/03 and 20K miles. I think it's 3 yrs/36k miles, or at lease I hope it is....

snowsurfer

I checked all the vac line, all good, no leaks. Disconnected the power for 1/2 hr. but still no indicator lites on selector switch..

snowsurfer

Any way to isolate and check the switch?

snowsurfer

Thanks again, this is the OBD2 connect point correct?

snowsurfer

Yes I did check the fuses and if there any loose or bad vac. lines, none found....I also have a vac gauge and it really doesn't show any loss of vac.

snowsurfer

You guys are great, lots of helpful hints and advice. I'll have some work to do on my next day off. I think my truck may still be under warrantee, it's a 03' but I only have 19K miles so if it's the TCCM module that would help. I called the dealer just to see the cost, 360.00, yikes!!!! Thanks again...

snowsurfer

You guys are great!!!! Prior to reading all this helpful info I called the local dealer and priced a TCCM module!!! Yikes!!!! 360.00 and change...He recommended I bring the truck down since electrical parts are non refundable and this may not be the problem..... I will try your diagnostic proceedurs...

Question if anyone can answer??? Does it matter if the MAF is turned in any way? In other words the maf is rotated 10-20 degrees in either direction??

snowsurfer

I've had and have both HPP3 and Powerdyne SC. Both will help but not in conjunction with each other. Without a SC the HPP3 gave a moderate power increase, better shifting and adjusted for tire size and gear ratio's and also had a performance tune option. With the SC much more power increase and add ...

snowsurfer

Anything different in the Powerdynes that came out before?

I've still got my HPP3 in a box, used about 4-5 imes. Went with a Supercharger and LS1 edit program so the HPP3 has been sitting for 4-5 months.#30019 for 2003 S10 4.3. 225.00 takes it!!!! Box, instructions everything like new....

I have a HPP3 for sale for my 03' Crew, used about 3 times but have since gone to a Powerdyne SC and I ended up getting LS1 edit. Very easy to use, push button increase in power. Since Supercharged engines can't be advanced timing I couldn't use the HPP performance settings since it advances the tim...

snowsurfer

Aloha, noticed that you are in Hawaii. I am also, have an HPP111 but went to LS1 edit after I supercharged. Yes you can adjust the shifting points, it takes some time playing and test drives. Log what adjustments you made and test drive the same area so you can feel the difference. Theres also a shi...

Cost about 450.00 with the cable, yes it can program all the parameters you're asking about. That price is for 1 truck type, I believe it's about 1,000. for the unlimited version. not positive on the price. You need auto tap or any other scanning program and no it doesn't use the same cable. You can...

snowsurfer

Yep, I got a LS1 edit, still trying to learn it though. Does a whole lot more than HPP3.
There's a few sites that are real helpful but it's definitely alot more to it than HPP3...

I installed it myself, it took about 4-5 hours trying to figure things out. The instructions are vague plus like I said there were some minor adaptions that I had to deal with with the earlier kit...

snowsurfer

I put a 1999 Powerdyne on my 03. A few minor adaptions..Powerdyne now sells one for 03 but it's not shown on their website. I believe it's #10528. The 01-02's come with headers, egr stuff...not needed for an 03.

I noticed that you live in Alaska, we're in similar situations I guess, Not Alaska but I live in Hawaii. Parts and info in alot of these modifications are not that easy to come by in our area, I would assume the same for you. Can't speak for the other SC's but the Powerdyne was not real difficult to...

snowsurfer

On my 03 it took about 4-5 hrs to install the Powerdyne. another 30 min. changing plugs, not real difficult. Just a tight fit I would say... Power wise it's an increase, not break your neck speed but not bad.. I've since added MSD6BTM, wires, LS1 edit and exhaust which I believe helps alot... The go...

I have a Zirgo 3025 CFM 16", like I said it surely cooled it even in traffic. I guess the engineers knew how to design a clutch fan cause in traffic it's still cool on the ac, oh well. Maybe 2 fans are needed???

snowsurfer

Actually the truck never went over the temp that I had it set, 190 but it's just that it didn't seem like it could pull enough air through the AC condenser. The AC got warm and then when the traffic moved it got cool again. But the Fan did cool the engine...

snowsurfer

e fan with Zirgo adjustable thermostat keeps the eng really cool but in stop and go traffic it has a hard time drawing enough cool air for the ac condenser. I decided to put the clutch fan back in.

Just installed a 16" Zirgo 3000CFM e fan, so far it seems good. It's a little noiser than I expected but not bad. I'm anxious to see how it works in traffic so when I go to work tomorrow I guess I'll find out...

snowsurfer

What kind of driving? Cruzin', off road?

snowsurfer

How much clearance do you need from rad to eng? It looks like I got around close to 5" is a trimline fan really needed if the fans are around 4"? It just seems that the regular fans have more cfm pull vs. the trimlines.. I got an old Zirgo 16" fan that's a shade over 4" at the deepest point and was ...

snowsurfer

I really don't have an cooling problems I was just looking at a performance issue. Maybe a lighter fan, less work on the motor etc..
It is warm in Hawaii but I rarely go over 205 with ac running and traffic.

snowsurfer

thanks for your imput..

what about Flex lite replacement fans that are lighter?

snowsurfer

I also have a 83 S10 w/305 V8, Vette radiator, and really have no problems with heat. The key was the distance fan rad. and a good shroud.
