You need to pick up a power steering analyzer, they come in the HMMWV tool kits, 57K0267 and 57K0268 and test the pressure/flow of your steering pump.
You should at least have the kit 57K0267 to properly maintain your HMMWV in the the first place, I see one on fleabay for $400 shipped, if you...
You could also just remove the ground from that light's grounding bar and see if the symptoms stay the same, it is possible the defect is in the light fixture itself, if so grounding the ground bar may not have any effect.
Run a wire from the neg lead of the battery to the neg lead of your meter, then connect the red lead to the ground bar on the light and see if you see any voltage there when the turn signal is not working.
Or you could run a temp lead from the neg battery to the ground bar on the light, same...
That sounds like a ground issue at the light, with the running lights off the turn/brake signal can find a path to ground through the running light system, once the running (tail, marker etc) lights are turned on that path to ground is gone.
Sorry, forgot you did not get it from GP
The last few truck I have bought, GP sent me the SF-97 application and I filled out anything missing, and one time slipped through a change in description that they did not notice (or say anything) but was correct
Since you see the TPS voltage at the TCM box, if you are still throwing a 22 code then the problem is 99% likely in the box.
It is possible that disturbing all those connections may have cleared the TPS problem, why I say to re-confirm the code 22.
I would be surprised if you do not find moisture inside, that does not look like a very "tight" box.
Give the penetrant some time, find a flat face punch that fits the dia. of the screw heads and a few whacks may also help.
Yes removing the continuous 12V that is going to the TCM erases the stored codes.
So you are having problems removing the top screws from the TCM case??
If so before stripping them use something like this (hand impact driver) with a bit that properly fits the screws. (you may already be using...
IT is OK to connect and disconnect the TCM with the batteries connected but never with the truck in run position.
You can carefully use a pair of channel locks on the connector just to get it started, be gentle though.
If that voltage is on #355 at the box then pull the TCM box (4 nuts under the body) and remove the top, remove the TCM and check for water/moisture in the foam under the TCM.
IF that all checks out stick the box back into the truck (no need to bolt it down) without the top and check for the .44V...
That is normal, open the throttle and the voltage on 355 should go up to around 4-4.5V
Now you get to back up to the TCM box and check voltage on #355 at the box, again must be done in run with the TCM connected.
You may need to carefully trim the outer braid back on the harness to get enough...
