Happy 4th everyone!!!

I sat in the X5 until it faulted out... I watched the temp and wire activations... I did find out that it faults out quicker if I select out of Drive then back in Drive... It only faulted twice while staying in Drive... The temp hovered around 103 C... It did not fault out... Even moving from D to N then back to D... I turned on the A/C... Temp climbed up to about 107 C... Moved from D to N and back to D... Wire L1 stayed in the "ON" state... It did not clear up until the temp dropped down to about 93 C...

I checked the pins on the connector... All were locked in the correct position... I remember reading something about the connector pins getting pushed back into the connector... Not the case here...

So, this isn't fun anymore... I really want to get the black circuit board connection unit that has the gear selection module integrated into it, but I can't just get that part... I have to get the whole valve body...

Or tear apart mine and hope I don't destroy it beyond use...

Off to see fireworks!! Everyone have a safe holiday!!!

Cheers for now!!
