So last night I got a Check Charging System/Battery light and there is no input from the Electric Steering.
So to say its light fighting a dump truck turning is mild!

Checked the voltage and its 13.8. Does Oreilleys on car check for Amperage output and is there a minimum for the EPASS to function?

I checked with Forescan and there are no codes.

Sounds like a blown fuse at the battery. One or both.

The fuse was blown but the break was so small couldn't see it.
So final issue with the swap is still not getting oil pressure gauge to read, I'm using a gen1 sensor with the gen1 harness.

If the gauge isnt reading it should go into limp mode. Im assuming it doesn't run?

She runs great. just no reading on the gauges. Gen1 sending unit, connected to the harness. I thought the signal went through the can bus.
Juice how are you running yours?

I installed a standalone oil pressure guage.

So the gauge does not get signal through canbus? Any ideas on how I might get it running through the cluster?

No idea. I dont have a 6 guage cluster. Something tells me oil pressure does not go tbrough pcm.
Based on SCT software, oil press/temp hardware is disabled by default. Aka, it does not have it.
