Did you get the ODO working again? Was it the fuse?

I'm just glad after all the trouble you went through to get this done that it was something simple.

Very good link and also they mention the load resistor or an LED compatible Flasher that some bulbs needed.

Rep sent to you.

does this make any sense....i told you that my ODO, dome light, and glovebox were not working. having that fuse blown also symptons of a bad VSS with hard shifting and stalling when i went into reverse. all is good now but one blown fuse caused hard shifting...

I am guessing that this must be caused by the fact that the PSOM wasn't communicating with the PCM? I don't know... Just a guess.

No problem i have been interested in LEDs for a long time and they have taken alot of the headaches out of working with them!! I learned alot about LEDs at www.instructables.com they also have alot of info that others have wrote up.

it seems the glass type OEM's are the only type that fit, and they aren't that bright. I hate having to squint at the low brightness of the stock green's. a white or brighter green would be nice. Interior cab lighting included.
