see if you can get the od switch off. i dont remember how they come off but you want to get to the harness. if you can jump the connector it may switch the od on/off.

i took the switch out of the shifter and tested the continuity......all good there.....i guess i would need some type of wiring showing if something might be shorted........Does this seem electrical to you? Please let me know some ideas that u might have heard of PLEASE

no fu...ing way, i was headed there friday to put in a order for a fluid temp sensor for my 240sx....

i own a vac n sew shop in hampton, by NASA......I live in Norfolk, though...

Man, i gotta figure this prob out,,,,,,,,,It seems i might have to drop it off somewhere.....Is your a repair shop?

my older bro just bought the 2005 suburban from Pomoco and my Mom loves Pomoco......its all good...

Hey do the O2 sensor or fluid temp sensor have anything to do with the light staying on..?

i would test to see what you have at pin 19 of the tcm. you want to backprobe the connector to find out if it has power or ground there. if you cant get into self diag mode then something electrical is messed up.
