Hi everyone. Went to start my 2014 Chevy Silverado this morning. Battery was dead it’s been getting weaker the past few days. Go buy a new one as I’m installing the negative battery cable I let the ratchet touch the stud for #4 on the battery distribution block. Started the truck and it says service power steering pump. So I assume I must have blown something when I touched that stud. I see each stud is labeled 1,2,3,4 so on #3 is empty nothing connected to it so I take the connection from 4 put it on 3 and now my power steering works. So I’m wondering if I can just leave it there and still use the truck because the only replacement part I can find takes over a week to get here.but #4 is labeled 175a and #3 is labeled 125a. I drove it to town let it sit about an hour tried to start it and it said something about the security system that I’ve never seen before turned the key off and back on now it’s fine. Any suggestions please help

These trucks do strange things when you change the battery out. Try to put it back to stock config on the battery box and see if it’s fixed.

I believe the large box on top of the battery is generally a large fuse-able link with various fuses as they are numbered.  But then I know that there is also an electrical harness that plugs into it, so I can't say for sure what function that aspect of it has.

My #3 position is empty as well.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      These show the problem and symptoms, and I explain things too. to clarify again, I did not change over any computers or wiring (with the exception of the map sensor). All of the computers and wiring are original to the 2010 vehicle   video 1 - background info/explanation and part of the problem   video 2, idle misfire   I think the reason that the MAP sensor is reading High is because the engine is misfiring so there is less vacuum...   Additionally there's a p0102 for the MAF low frequency, and a p0108 for the map high voltage.        Again, apologies for the somewhat long-winded explanation, it's a rather difficult problem to explain without going into the details.

      DFM Disabler

      You'd want the Pulsar to be safe.  That was the first product that worked for 10 speed trucks that they came out with.   Range Technology 22451 Pulsar LT for 2019-2022 GM Gas Trucks     That said, in the features description of the RA003B, it does list it working with 10 speeds.  However there are reports that the RA003B can cause some drivability issues on early 10 speeds.  So the Pulsar is the safest move IMO.      Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler   Features: Range AFM/DFM Disabler keeps you in full power 100% of the time Simply plug into your onboard OBD-II port and it instantly begins working to eliminate the AFM system Disables Auto Start/Stop Blue LEDs The Range AFM/DFM Disabler does not reprogram factory ECU Works in hundreds of applications, 2007-2022, including 10-speed models. Leaves no trace, unplug it to return to factory settings Virtually no battery draw Fits all V6 and V8 General Motors (GM) active or dynamic fuel management vehicles, includes cars, trucks, and SUVs This device does not support the 2022.5+ Refresh model trucks or 2021+ SUVs To confirm your 2022 model truck is compatible with this unit, check your VIN. The 12th digit in an early model must be a '4' or lower Made in USA

      DFM Disabler

      I have a 2019 new body style high country with a 6.2l L87 and a 10 speed transmission code MQB. Looking for a disabler that is compatible. Most show it’s not. I watched a video on utube from Dons Life that says Ranges RA003B is compatible but when you go to Ranges website and check compatibility it only has a 8L90 trans listed which is an 8 speed.  I don’t want to buy the wrong one. Anyone have any experience with this situation?

      This actually happened. Be careful where you get your information re: gas price trends.

      I understand the principle...you don't want to spend $150 for a $0.02 piece of plastic or a little screw and perch thingy.   But this is a problem that looks like it can be reliably solved with a zip tie.   That might hold you over until you can score one at a pick-a-parts yard.
