So here is the thing, I thought I had done my research and figured OEM was not a bad way to go. I mean what could go wrong?
Well, the pass through the firewall shit....I made sure to keep away from the main wiring harness and I feel pretty confident that it is fine. The pin connector operation was not a fun pull but I did work it out in the end and it was all buttoned up.
Turn on the ignition and it works just fine. Next thing I know, I get a check engine with the start/stop not ready alert. I did not get a turn off vehicle or limp mode issue and I drove it a few miles with no issues. Its practically new so I went and did some more research and found that the issue was the Fuse Array. Apparently, I had too much fun with the sauce and somehow ended up tripping up one of those little suckers in the fuse array so I ordered a new one.
Got it today and installed. It was a mild pain but it pretty much went on fine. Turned on the truck, all good. No lights.
Drove it around the block and parked it. Kept it on since I was curious and a minute later, lights went off on the display. Turned it off and back on and I am back to the check engine light on and the auto on/off light as well.
Any suggestions?
Here is a solid question too: the instructions also mention to take it into the dealer for them to flash. No biggie, I knew that....what surprised me is that the switches don't light up at all regardless. I figured they would considering the flash (in my mind) was only to place it on your radio as an available setting.
PS. Im ready for the beat down. I didnt go another route because I dont plan on adding a ton of lights or go crazy and 4 switches seemed like just enough.
