Sounds like it'll be pricey to me! Will keep you all posted. Thanks again everyone, DadsXF
Also - onehundred80 - the adjustment procedure mentions that you are supposed to "supply current to the solenoid" when making the adjustment. Any ideas for "how" to do that? I assume maybe step on the brake with key on while trying to make the adjustment? Also, for what it's worth, stepping on the brake, I hear a click near the brake pedal, but nothing heard or felt in shift **** / gear selector area.
I would say you supply current by putting your foot on the brake. I am sure that somewhere in the electrical part of the manual it tells you how to test the part electrically, all electrical components I have seen have a sequence of tests to show the part is working properly and is in fact getting power.
You should do these tests, you will need a multimeter to do the tests. You should also buy a cheap code reader. Both items together will cost less than a visit to a repair shop.
