Hello All,

Fairly new to the forum, although I’ve been lurking in the background. 😝. I have a 2019 GMC At4, 5.3L (L84 engine)that has been overtaken by gremlins lately. I already changed the water pump (65k dealer screwed me on extended warranty ).. For the most part it hasn’t been too bad. But I recently hit 100,000 kms and everything suddenly started to fall apart. Last fall it was A/C, garage claims it’s the clutch; but recently I asked if they did an ohm test and there’s no record (you’ll understand where I’m going with this in a sec). Then, mid winter, after returning from our vacation, the dashboard lit up with a myriad of codes, that weren’t even related; main one was accelerator speed sensor low voltage. Brought it the garage to diagnose, because I’m 20yrs old anymore and no longer a driveway warrior 😆. They found salt build up in the harness and bypassed the original connection (accel sensor) and ran a new wire.. Problem solved, no more limp mode. Two weeks after that, I get another check engine light, low oil pressure. Gauge was fluctuating, then suddenly a few days later gauge went to zero.. While researching which wires are which, to confirm voltage at the pigtail (which I did 4.7v) i read that the oil pressure sensor, accelerator sensor AND the A/C clutch all share the same voltage; so now I’m wondering if all these are connected and the issue lies with this harness. I changed the sensor yesterday, because it would’ve cost as much to get the garage to bench test it and it ran fine until about 15-20km later (dropped to zero again). It seems like the pressure is there, initially, but after a 10 min drive it completely falls. I haven’t done a manual reading yet (kit should be delivered tomorrow) but has anyone experienced similar issues? Do you think it’s all related? I’m contemplating swapping harnesses, but it’s approximately $1,000.. Or removing it and going through it myself, repairing all the wires, if any at all; but that would leave me with no wheels for a few days. 😩

Any insights would be much appreciated
 

Welcome.

How about a junk yard, or auto dismantler? I found a engine harness for a '22 6.6d on ebay, in '22.

Ya i was looking at our version of scrap yards, here in Canada and there aren’t any within 400kms of me. They don’t pull parts, so if there was I would be travelling to save minimal $$.. My buddy at he shop also told me the GMs were having issues with the harness rubbing through on one of the mounting areas..
 

So there is this.....

Not sure if that could have anything to do with it but I thought I'd share... Not the exactly the same but could be something to investigate. 🤷‍♀️

Wondering if that is what happened to mine but actually the jackasses at the dealer didn't tighten the ground when I got a new battery and it left me stranded and my truck dead..... 🤬

😳 Something to look into. They just performed the recall for the negative chassis cable just prior to.. u may be onto something too
