Thanks for the info I will check it out, that makes more sense. Battery voltage is 12.45 so i will charge it and hopefully that clears it up. Ill also check the relay as well!

What's a COH bypass kit?
I used the LMC5 from http://www.complianceparts.com/index.html

There is guidance on how to unlock it if it is "stuck" in the locked position. I have the info at home (not home now). If you can't find it PM me and I will send it to you. It just uses your grabbing the wheel and with a few moves you can unlock it.

I recommend the LMC5 since everything you do is in the passenger foot well and you don't have to undo any previous "fixes" They have a good video of how to basically install it, the video is presently only in their eBay ads but they plan to add the video to their website soon.

PM me with your phone number if you would like me to discuss it with you. Mr. Sam
