Thanx, as you well know let's just say after wrenching on the Turbo Talon this NT thing AINT intimidating - FAQ already very helpful - This Board same "look" as the ancient MKVIII.ORG Board I've been on for 15 years so very familiar feel - I'm getting an intermittent no first gear when in D - I suspect what Ford calls the Manual Lever Position Switch is failing - Biggest difference is Toyota MLPS is $300 - I made a sleeve for the Shifter pivot bolt to delete tons of slop - I've got a chafed Driver side Brake Line that weeps, will replace both sides (4 total in front) & do a flush - Hood & Hatch Struts are DOA & on order - Radio just scans & scans like it has no Antennae but I have panel out to access Shifter so I'm there - I redid the splice at the wire off Engine Bay Fuse Box to the "Mystery Relay" & I'm up to 13.5 Volts fm 13 so ?? - Eventually I'll disconnect it from Battery & see what quits - All in all it's amazing what still works on this car - Toyota Quality is a fact.
