hey guys just joined to ask what a particular plug/sensor thing is and why it might be shorted out and failing.
I just got a 92 E350 7.3IDI, and I noticed the OD light blinking, a hard shift into 2nd, and "flutter-y" shifting between 2-3 and 3-4. I also have no tail lights.
the lights are obvious, the 15 amp brake light fuse blows, and when I put a new one in, I get smoke from the wiring by the frame. It's coming from a plug or sensor on the drivers side frame rail, right next to the oil filter.
I attached a pic of the part in question.
Now, why might it be shorting? I don't want to just get a new one, and have that short out too. Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.
