DSP5 switch help

[Texas Chevy]

I installed the switch on my LBZ and when I turned the switch it was still on the same tune. So I went to chEck the ground and it was good but I realized that the signal wire was disconnected out of the wiring harness and the terminal that was kn the wire was gone so I managed to get it out of the harness clip but it basically fell apart. Where can I get a new terminal? And what size is it? I looked at all the parts stores around here and the ones I found look to big. Does any one know what size?

Im guessing that this is not a common problem. i hope that maybe you can get them at a dealer

Dealer only, or a EFILive vendor like SoCal Diesel would have them too

The part numbers and tray locations are floating around here just have to look. The tedious part is getting the missing one out if its in the ecm. Taking a small needle and pressing it into the smaller of the two holes will unlock it. Then using another needle push it out.

Well i got the one out already now i just have to wait for a dealer to open monday. I really wanted to drive it and see how the tunes were working.

You could also pull out the ground pin and splice that onto the signal wire and then ground the ground wire to any good ground point close to the switch.

That would work to but when I wired the switch there was already something wired into the ground spot so I wired the ground else where and I can't find the other piece I had to cut off. I will just run by the dealer tomorrow.

So the dealer says they dont sell that part alone. Anyone had a differed part number

Try going to a wrecking yard and buying a pig tail for the ECU. Then you'll have a few dozen to sell others in need.

[Texas Chevy]

I have a bag of them also, I'm in the Houston area, if you still need one let me know.

Contact a vendor for EFI Live like Idaho Rob at ATPTrucks.com or someone who sells DSP5 switches, usually they'll sell you a terminal pin crimped to the wire already.

I bought mine from the dealer, but it was a PITA for them to find.

Some of the friendlier dealers will give you the pins. I picked a few up the other day from one of the local dealers here. Try a different dealer if you don't get a pin from someone else first.

Two problems with this are..

1. The parts guys don't know what you're talking about most of the time. You have to ask for the parts guy that works with the technicians. Give him that information and push push push...

2. Once you get the pin, you have to figure out how to crimp it to the wire securely. I recommend using solder after it's crimped. Your crimp and solder need to be small enough though that it doesn't interfere with the wire sliding into the track.

Now if the switch still isn't working after I got it all wired in could it be a bad switch? I have tried moving the ground and everything even pulled the pin back out of the ECM an checked all wires. I don't mind buying a new switch if it gets it working. Is it possible to have a bad switch?
