Yes they work good for probing for power to see where you are losing it, use the wiring diagrams I gave to double check everything, we must be missing something.

You said you replaced the TIPM correct? I would recheck all fuses and grounds from the battery.

I would use a test light and see where you are losing power. Please go over all main battery cables and the power feeds for the fuse panels.

I also have been removing grounds and cleaning them up. I check to see if I had continuity from one of the ground wires to from the end of the wire to the spot or any spot to ground it there was not and continuity shouldn't there be. I do not have battery or fuse box in at this time I also have open lines not plugged in.

If the grounds look good, check the power to the fuse panels, does anything have power or is the entire vehicle dead?

Check out seems to be good. I went back to the voltage sensor on the neg. Battery cable, I was checking the 2 wires a red one that checked out ok but the orange one had a weak signal open wires up found a place it had spliced together may be the problem, but I have a little darker orange wire coming from another area going to I think both connecting the same wire going to inside of the car only found that one wire is that possible they should connect together and should I wirer it together that way? I ordered a new plug and wires to go into voltage censor.
