there is no passlock in97 check the starter relay in the ribbon cable harness its the one with the purple wire in it just pull the relay out and put in a new one if you dont have a relay switch with the accessory relay on the orange wire it wont hurt anything but if it works get a new relay asap

the purple wire has +12 volts in it all the time, I don't think this is normal and my LED when I start my truck with my key it flashes 3 time it use to flash 6 times before anyone have any idea whats up.

It may be wired up wrong and worked for a little while then burnt out the relays. You should only have 12v to the starter wire (purple) while cranking the engine, no other time. Test the other wires to see if they are getting 12v only when cranking and rewire accordingly

take a jumper and ground the purple ribbon wire if it cranks the starter your relay and wires are good ,you will have 12 v at the ribbon but they go to lo current ground when starting

3 flashes denotes tach lockout...recheck your tach wire to see if it's still connected...if you soldered it under the hood you may have to redo it if it has corroded at the connection.....
