Default Did I mess up

Ok most of you all know I having trouble with my FX3 controls. Will not even ten minutes ago I took the computer out and drove around without it. Will just to have a complete vette I hooked the computer back up and forgot to take it out of sport. Will normally in sport mode it set the light off. Not this time and then I set to to the highest setting and would you believe it it still works and the light is still off.

I did everything to try to get the light to come on and it is still off. So I pulled over and turn the car off and then started it again. the light came on then went off so the buld is good.

So here my question could taking out the FX3 computer and hooking it back up fix it or did I mess something up?

I see that 25 people saw this and not even going to touch this.

Will I got my baby up to 80 and still it work like it should. So I think I fix it. Or it may have been a loose wire. Who know so before it goes out again Im going to enjoy it the much better ride.

on more than one occasion, unplugging and plugging in connectors have fixed a problem for me. sometimes there's just a little corrosion on the contacts. if everything's working on your fx3, don't worry about it...

You may have to drive 30-50 miles for the computer to re-read / re-learn before the problem is solved. Re- post after you have some miles on the car. My hope for you is, it was just a loose connection.

Stay in tune...

As stated above. Please take some time when you write up your posts to make sure you are asking clear questions. It took me 4 times through to determine WTF you were trying to say. Most of us won’t bother to do this another 3 times. This fact also answers the mail as to why nobody would "touch" or answer your post up as you stated in post #2. GC
