The PSOM is mounted to the back of the speedometer. So, it requires removing the instrument cluster. Fear not! It's not that hard! Just take your time. Remember that the two main connectors on the instrument cluster require you to press/pinch INWARD before they can be pulled out. The one for the PSOM is a little different.

OK ill get to that as soon as i get a few more free moments. Will the + and - be clearly marked. What should i look for on the back. I think i found that the + is pin 4 4wabs in and - is pin 5 4wabs return. or does the + and - mean Battery in and Ground. Is that right? And im assuming that if i find a short in the wires that it means i need to trace the wire and find where it is broken and ...

According to my schematics, at the PSOM , the (+) line is Orange/Light Blue, and the (-) line is Light Green/Yellow. For reference, you may want to look at this page, but take special note of which years the diagrams refer to: http://www.supermotors.net/registry/2742/69150-2

OK got the PSOM Pins and Pin 3 to + tested over 5 ohms and pin 6 to - was under 5 ohms. Now that means there is a short some where. Where is it? what should i look for next.

It says if one is over 5 to repair that circit. One is over 5. How do i repair it.

Trace the wire back through the harness. Look for physical damage of any kind, and at the end connectors for pull-out and/or corrosion.

Ok I Omed out the 2 wire going from the 4wabs and the bothe tested the same. Could the short be further back in the line between the sensor and the 4wabs ecu?

OK Im getting it. One more question. An open circuit would mean that some signal is getting through but not the full signal? The reason I ask is b/c my cruise still works and sometimes the tranny shifts fine. I think my problem may lie with that Gy/Bk wire runnihg up the A piller to the overhead. I have some water leaking in near there and think it may be getting to that wire.

That'd be a drastic step, but I suppose it'd be possible. I usually suggest that repairs use as much of the original equipment as rationally possible; things like chassis wiring should be reused, unless it's been damaged or so corroded that reuse might pose a safety or reliability problem. I'll go back over the schematics tonight and see what I can unearth. Mine being a 1993 model, and not terribly interested in what the...
