My wife had my '97 D1 XD out yesterday, broke down and needed a tow home...sigh. Apparently the transfer case or transmission oil light temp went on (looks like a red gear with thermometer in the middle on the upper left part of the dash). She stopped and it went off. After another 30 mins of driving it went back on and she said it started to run somewhat rough after that. She pulled over again and this time it would not start again. She also said when she was driving it the speedometer would jump from 50mph to 90mph over and over a few times. When I got there to check it out, the engine would crank over but would not start. The first place I checked was the fuse box. Sure enough it had a blown fuse in Satellite #1, fuse #3 - it's a 20 amp (it looks like an engine with a lightning bolt going through it). I changed the fuse and it blew right away again when I turned the key to auxiliary, right before the engine cranks. I did this a few times and it blows that fuse every time. The check engine light also will not illuminate. I did a search here and elsewhere and I have yet to come across this problem or a resolution. Maybe the ECU is fried? Any ideas what it could be?
Also, when the car drove, it sometimes felt like it would temporarily cut out and go, over and over for a few minutes and would clear up by itself. It's done that for years and comes and goes every 6 months or so... Still love my truck and hope to get it fixed soon. Any thoughts on where to look is greatly appreciated!
