Replaced the automatic shifter bushings and the grommets on the linkage. Tightened up the sloppy floppy action.
hey Mweb...how's that dash SMELL post repair? does it smell like cow s*** and rubber ala undercoating, or is it more of a solvent/ harbor freight smell? I only ask cause you mentioned using undercoating, and from what I remember, that stuff smells powerfully...

It has a very faint smell of automotive paint. The rustoleum rubber coating didn't have much of a scent. It didn't have that harbor freight Chinese rubber smell.
Alrighty then, the one million dollar question... what do you charge for a dashjob?

I was talking with Jacob today about that, with my bodywork skills, the manhours would add up and not make it worthwhile. I'm a perfectionist with my stuff and x2 if I'm working on someone else's stuff. You could probably knock this out, after prepping the dash, the techniques are all the same as fixing a dent with Bondo and respray.

...I'm always willing to just lend a hand on a project though.

Went for a little spin around the neighborhood today, transmission seemed to be shifting fine. No codes after.

I retract my earlier statement about checking every mm of the wiring harness. While going through a lights check... headlights, front marker, and clearance lights are good...
No blinkers, rear marker, or tail lights including no brake.
Flasher switch makes all blinkers flash except driver rear that is just dark. There is 12V at Turn, Tail, and Stop fuse terminals, fuses are good.
Decided to pull the cargo panel and check for voltage at the connectors by the washer bag. Bright side, I ordered an endoscope recently and got to put it in action...down side, it found this down inside the cargo panel and I'm back to wire repair.

Bummer. Is it tough to access?
What brand endoscope did you go with? Is it a WiFi one?
