    I may have missed something in reading your posts, but have you made sure the cradle is properly aligned in the car? That is the first thing that should be done before any other alignment work is done, especially what your mechanic did.

    91parkave - Yeah, I'm thinking the same - electrical problem. I was researching, and I've found plenty of ABS-related problems that coincide with my other two errors, but I'm not getting an ABS error - so that makes me think short. I just walked back in from looking under the hood. I have a wire routed over the trans linkage, that just isn't right, it'll wear through the conduit at some point, I'll relocate it.

    More interestingly, I found a connector - and I have no clue where it was intended to go. It's close to the ABS module, runs back into the harness over the top of the transmission, this same harness connects to the ABS module. This connector is pointed towards the firewall, but I see nowhere for it to go. It looks clean - like it's been disconnected for a short period of time kind of clean. Before I go any further, I want to make sure this isn't related.

    LeadfootCJ7 - I don't know if they aligned the cradle at the shop - how is that done? The guys at the shop never mentioned aligning the cradle, but they may have. I'll bring it up when I take it in later this coming week.

    ***

    So, check out the pic - What connector is this (left), and where should it be going? This is looking down at the transmission by the ABS module. The wire was laying on the transmission next to another wire headed towards the firewall (up in the pic). And what is that other wire, running back with this one? It is laying on the control lever for the transmission, a connector attached is just out of view towards the top in the pic, I think it has 5 wires.

    Edit: I was just looking at the steering column diagram, and am wondering - is this connected to the steering wheel position sensor harness?? Going to go look around some more.

    More info: The latest replacement steering rack is leaking - I was told it might be, that they weren't positive, but it is. I relocated the other wire to under the control linkage on the transmission - there's a plastic mount around the cable towards the firewall side of the transmission, and I see where it should go, but it's inaccessible from the top. Still, it's better under the linkage than over. I still haven't found where that connector goes.
