I have a bad gremlin. I am thinking about taking it back to a shop that has been chasing the unicorn for years for the PO.
I do have some notes that I think are worth mentioning.
1) It seems to be triggered by using the trans. It will sit and idle with everything on for hours, but as soon as you shift, it all goes dead.
2) Wiggling the wires under the steering wheel helps. There appears to be a connection to this wire that go to the trans.
Has anyone actually solved this problem?
From this thread one issue is the back up lights. Going from park to drive may be the short.
