The key trick will work on some 01 sometimes, do not depend on it, uses scan tool. Yours is early one so I do not know.

My method-
brake clean insulation where the heat shrink goes .( As there is a release agent on the insulation.)
You want that removed with brake cleaner.
Drill the end of the TINNED lugs, put a small amount of flux on the wire, and crimp it..
Then heat it up enough to add some solder through the hole,
Now smear a bit 3M 5200 where the heat shrink goes . (comes in white or black)
Heat it on, now you will have a crimped, soldered, H20-proof, tinned lug connection on tinned wire .
This will outlast you and the truck

Regarding code 1689 and the eight steps to check it... steps 1 and 2, skip to 3. Step 3, Voltage pin 7 is 12.3v. Step 4, test light bright on pin 6. Steps 5 through 8, cannot accomplish at this time, inability to isolate white wire and black wire. Cleaned three more grounds. Thanks and That's all, folks.

12.3v? Are your batteries dead? If not you may have bad or corroded connecctins or wires somewhere. If battery voltage it should be a bout 12.6v.

Yes, that's right. Voltage was checked at batteries and is correct; should be and would be above that if truck cranked and ran. Between some trying to start and below freezing nights, the batteries go down. And a parasitic drain is very possible too. Time to upgrade battery cables. Maybe a battery charge tomorrow; another freeze this weekend.

What is/was battery voltage at each battery disconnected. Should be 12.6 and not go down just sitting, regardless of temps.

Back to normal, update. I had rewired around the alternator and had two open connections. Got some decent crimpers, Channel Lock 909s, crimped the opens and all is well. Pump functions as it should, truck runs fine. Thanks to all for responding and for your assistance; it is much appreciated. Thanks again.

About 12.3 or so as I recall. Battery cables and connections were beyond bad; got complete battery wiring kit from Arizona company and installed while batteries were being recharged and all is well. Thanks again for your help.
