I just don't know what "it" it is.
I installed auxuillary back up lights this morning. Two 55 watt halogen lights. Tapped into the DRL fuse under the dash as source of power and used an automotive relay to carry the power to the aux back up lights. Tapped back up bulb (green wire with black stripe) and ran wire to relay and everything worked as planned
Got industrious and also wired the relay to an illuminated switch on the dash.
Now switch worked fine but can not get the tap from the back up bulb to trip the relay. Using the switch by itself is fine with me so I took out the tap from the back up bulb.
HUGE PROBLEM NOW because I can't shift out of park unless I use a screwdriver in the shift lock hole. Ran through all the steps in the manual for resetting the shift lock but it my E isn't shifting Even after unhooking all my wires I can't move the E without the screwdriver.
I haven't told my wife yet but when she hears I messed up her one week old E she's going to hit the ceiling (or worse - me).
What did I mess up and can I fix it without taking it to the dealer??[/b]
