Code 36, replace both relays behind the battery on the firewall. They are actually the same part, though may be listed separately, together they shouldnt be more than about $25.

Thank you ever so much! That is great news! Hey! I can handle $25.00. Thank all of you for your help with my "stupid question" I was always told there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. Guilty as charged!!

Looking at the thread you started "will 11" Zr1's fit?". That topic was answered a million times and even dozens of pictures were posted of how far they stick out. If every question was only asked/answered once this forum would be a very boring and inactive place. The point being he said very nicely "Please forgive me if this has been addressed before" makes your comment of calling his question stupid all the more inappropriate. He never said that he wants to take it to the dealer because we are not mind readers. He read the instructions and obviously didn’t completely understand how easy it is and just needed clarification. Not everyone is tech savvy and understands what it means to “short” the two pins. Sadly no one is born with all the knowledge in the world.

Read the FAQ's at the top of the TECH section this is a general forum.Tech is where to ask questions like this.
this place would really be boring if folks had to go to FAQ or where ever every time they had a question - i would bet 99% of all questions have been answered already - so with your thinking we don't even need a forum anymore - do away with it & just keep the FAQ - if you know all the questions and all the answers maybe it's time for you to find another forum - other wise let people here help other people - that is what makes a forum a pleasent place to visit and get help when they need it without digging thru ton's of old post - some people just want to be a post ***** - who the hell cares - now i'm going out to the car & see if my check engine light comes on - if it does - i know how to fix it without going to FAQ or making a post & pissin someone off

All that needs to be done is read the FAQ's once.Excuse me for being blunt but too many people ask questions without enough info to fix it.This has been pointed out time and time again.If someone needs help no problem but at least make an effort to find it first so the right question can be asked not " my ses light is on whats wrong with my car"?Yeah I was a little cranky on this one but the point is valid.I will apoligize but please make sure enough info is included such as year of car,milage etc it does make it easier to get the right answer.Read my posts for the most part I am not a post ***** and have provided lots of good info to many people.I am just guessing but if you noticed a lot of the best guys here have slacked off answering questions because of threads like this.

Oh please, the most simple solution is "If you don't have something nice to say, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL". Or in other words as it applies here "IF you don't have helpful information and you think the question was stupid - MOVE ON!

I agree with you 100% I guess it is best to just ignore him. He says he is not a post ***** and I take him at his word. I guess his advice is worth the price I paid for it.!!!

Oh! I don't know about that. The help I received was very helpful and I would say some of the best guys on this forum answered my post. Thank you all!
