1992 Dodge B250 Wiring Diagram for Shorted Dark Blue Wire

[doristhexploris92]

I am trying to trace back a shorted dark blue wire into the inside of the van. I think it powers one of the sensors.

Thank you in advance.

Do you have any information where the wire is located or what it operates or what you think it operates? Is the wire for something related to the chassis (would need a factory Dodge wiring diagram) or something with the camper part of the vehicle? If a fuse is blowing, which fuse is it for?

I didn't see any follow up by the OP but the service manual for my 97PW/96 Dodge 3500 has over 50 pages of wiring diagrams segregated according to which part of the electrical system is involved. What does "shorted" dark blue wire mean?

thank you for the reply everyone!! My father just flew in to help me try and get this started. I took some videos but this won't allow me to upload them. I am goign to try and post some photos.

The blue wire goes from the the harnes that plugs into the firewall next to the steering column.
then runs about two feet to a fuseable link to other blue wires. it melted another blue wire that plugs into another harness which then runs into the cab of the van.

Van will crank over, but we have no ignition. we are getting fuel, just won't fire up.

photo 1 - harness next to the steering - i have a pink wire that looks like it got hot but only that spot, then the dark blue wire and the light blue are together. the dark blue is the long melted on, the light blue is fine

#3 & 4 - dark blue running across the front of the engine to this fuseable link in pic #5

The link connects to the blue wire that runs down in the photo that leads to the pin in photo #7, that pin is in the last slot of the harness in the last photo. That harness connects and runs back into the van

if any of that helps. we will be working on it today so i will check back!!! thanks for any further help!

good news.....got the van to start but it shuts down once running for a bit. the pin with the dark blue wire in the last two photos......something is heating that i think. If i remove this pin while its running, it will shut off.....
