Hi Spook,
Thanks for the almost instant response.
I suppose that busted wires at the sensor is whats wrong, and you helped
me by indicating the sensor has male bullet pins.
I think I have some extra female bullet pigtails from Dave Barton that should
do the trick for the busted harness connector .
I Just went through a similar issue with rotted horn and and OBD port connectors. I use non insulated #18-22 CU butt connectors crimped and soldered and then shrink wrap. (Beware junky cheap Chinese butt connectors made out of Aluminum or Brass or who knows what?)
I've had good luck with the ramps, for changing oil and also for placing front jack stands. Starting jacking from the ramps is easier and quicker to set the jack stands. I do understand that the thought of driving over the top of
the ramps is creepy, but no problems so far.
That Butyl seal may be the same stuff as ham radio "Coax-seal" used to weatherproof connectors. I haven't seen the Butyl tape at Home Depot, where do they hide it?
What to do to about the binding trip Odometer?
Maybe a little MMO will free it up?
It looks like a monsoon for the next day or so.
I'll be able to tinker with the instrument cluster before getting under the car.
Best regards, Bill
