    Nope. All stock 40,000 mi. It's never been driven on the beach, or dirt, or even rain. It only gets wet when it gets washed...I believe you are right Anita

    Yeah, if you dont have a remote starter, then I would agree that it sounds like the mode selector switch.

    From the description in the thread I posted above, it sounds like the switch is mounted external to the Tranny. I don't know if you'll lose tranny fluid during the swap but it 'should' be mounted high enough that you won't.\

    I'm prolly talkin out my arse since I've not done the swap. maybe you should PM mdwyer.

    Yikes No! ... I remember when mine went out that it was an easy fix. In fact I believe I waited for it to be done.
