Engine code -- po243

Engine code --p0243 Check endine lite come on 4 weeks ago. Stayed for one day. Turned key on then off 3 times stoping in on position. Code po243 came up. Next day no engine lite, good. One week later lites back. Same code. Stays on 2 days. Goes back off? Talked to Dodge dealer -diesel teck. He said some 05's had trouble with wastegate boost sensor wire. Tester showed 12 volts going to sensor 0 going back to ecm. Bad sensor? When signal from sensor does not get backto ECM truck will run but ECM will defuel injectors to keep from breaking any thing. I went to remove sensor, both wires were corroded ,one broke off 1 inch from sensor when moved. I figured it would not hurt to cut and splice the wires back together. So with some waterproof heet-shrink aircraft butsplice connectors and some wire loom cover full of hot glue we are back to making smoke!!! OOO Don't forget to clear the codes.
