Question type: Maintenance & Repair

After hitting a bump in the road the truck shut off.
After getting under the hood the battery bolt broke
and the battery looks like it grounded out. I have

1 Answer

Do you have a correct ECU or one out of a junk truck? Did you program the new ECU to the truck? Sounds like a security system issue.
