Tod gone crazy?

Posted too soon... I think I summoned the wolf from the woods (a translation of a Ukrainian saying...)



Zadam - have your ToD wiring harness checked. I saw your video, and it shows the exact same ToD light spasms I was having.

thanks I will look into this. Do you by any chance know where this is? maby a pic ?

Sorry, I have no idea - I brought it to the shop to fix it (both times).

just curious did your tod go crazy only when almost comming to a stop like mine or was it all the time?

Mine was on and off, with no noticable pattern.

If yours is doing it only when slowing, then my guess is that the wiring is grounding out in only one direction when the chassis flexes on deceleration.

Wiring is not like an alternator or other fixed part - the wiring runs are by nature a little different on every car, so these kinds of issues are going to be unique to yours. When you slow down, you are throwing weight forward in the vehicle. Your wiring harness may only be grounding out where it hits the frame or something as it shifts forward under deceleration.

I paid for 3-4 hours of labor on each of my two ToD wiring repairs - it takes a while for the mechanic to diagnose, find, and fix this kind of problem.
