If it's broken, just splice it....

 

it is pulled out, I have no idea where it goes...

 

Looks like it's pulled out of the actual harness plug - is that correct?

 

that correct, problem is I can't seem to get the harness off...

 

Lacking the knowledge of where that wire goes, I would suggest possibly going to a pick and pull yard and finding that same harness, identify that wire and either go home and try to fix what you have OR cut that harness off and splice it to yours using shrink connectors.

If I get time I'll pull mine apart and look at it...

 

there are no junk yards around here... I would sure appeciate if you could have alook at yours.. is it the same year

 

I'll try to...I'm also asking on LS1truck.com. We have a few GM Tech's and guys that work at the dealer that can look up the schematic.

Come on over and check the site out...here's where I posted about yours.

 

I changed the switch for the head lights & the box on the steering wheel that includes the signal lights, wipers , 4 way flasher, cruise.....

head lights still not work....

BUt the big problem is that the truck will start , run for about 2-3 seconds , the shuts down ... it does have the SECURITY light on...

tried leave key in run position for 10 minutes the restarting , no help...

tried spare key NO help ???

any HELP much appreciated....[/align]

 

Okay, my boss has a 2004 2500HD crew cab, long box diesel that had a wiring harness problem. It shorted out and he had very limited power until it failed and then he had it towed home. He was on a long trip back from his mother's funeral. You sound like you have a short in a wiring harness. The start for a few seconds and stalling sound familiar. Once you figure it out I will be interested to hear what caused your problem.
