Tallahassee, Florida DIY'ers for a 01 4.4

Hello all! I've learned more off this forum than just about anywhere. After much searching, I believe I may have found the problem with the trifecta lights with dash out, no A/C, and transloc. From what I've read it seems to be the ABS overheating and causing the issues. One thing I have noticed that most people wouldn't notice is that I'm not able to lock the doors. Battery went dead on my key so was using it manually. And it will not turn to the left to lock the doors. It started this before any other issues arose.
I'd like to see if there is anyone in the Tallahassee area that has the software needed to check EVERYTHING out and see where the problem is starting at. The "torque" app is good for some things, just not for reading the sensors at the source. We just sunk 4 grand into having the transmission rebuilt. It was either park it, or part it out after buying another and maybe keeping this one for parts. They did a great job, and happy with their work, service, and warranty.
(If you are in the Crestview/FT. Walton Beach, Fl. area and need a transmission rebuilt, go see Rodney at Global Transmission in Ft. Walton Beach)
So before I have them come pick it up, and then find out that it wasn't the transmission, I'd like to check. They're not a full BMW or Indie mechanic. Just really good with transmissions. So they could end up dumping more money into it than I can do right now.
I hope everyone has a great one! Be safe, and have a blast driving!
