Wiring harness fried

[sermis]

Went to replace a bolt on the alternator. The spacer fell into the back. Yep that's my luck. So I had to remove the alt to get the spacer out. Well I guess I put a wire back on in the wrong place. Turned the key on to start and nothing. Then it looked like a smoke bomb going off under the hood. Water to keep it from burning to the ground. Would have pics but I was really scarred it would burn up.
Anyone have a wiring harness they want to get rid of?

What happens when you put 24V to direct ground. Lucky on a keyed switch which might have saved it. Right now only damage seams to be wiring harness.

You very well will need more then an engine harness...you can bet your EESS is fried as well, possibly body harness as well, do a good inspection and open up your EESS and take a visual and sniff test.

Surprisingly all guages are working, it starts and runs and is charging.
I had glow plug issues before and they are on a push button desperate circuit.
Looking for a new harness.
Question. Will a harness for a 4L80 work if still running the 3 speed? I would like to upgrade sometime just not right now.

Most people beleove that the only reason for the box is glow plugs, that’s only one function.
folks find out all to often that’s not the case...usually once they see smoke and sparks.

As far as harness..yes and no, but you won’t have kickdown

Is there an easy way to add the kick down wire until I get the $$$ to upgrade?

You don’t need an engine harness anymore? I have one from my 3sp that I won’t be needing

I'm hoping the new harness will get the glow plugs working right. They never worked with the smart box ever since I got the truck. I had rigged a harness with push button and timer and worked great until I put the truck on display at the air show. Kids kept pushing the button and burned out the plugs.
