OD question
Not sure if this is related or just a coincidence, but since installing the CTS3 od will not turn off?
I unplugged the edge and cycled the key, still no luck
Ideas anyone

There's a small connector under the clam shell on the top left side of the column for the shifter. With all the repetitious movement going on in the shifter/steering maybe something came loose or wire was damaged.

@Listor , rather than patch the frayed portion, replace the entire wire inside the shifter as described here.
Actually, once the OD button is pulled out the end of the shift lever, you can pull the socket out the end as well and then fish a whole new wire into the shift lever. 4-conductor household alarm wire works great as a replacement. You can use CAT5 cable too but then you would have add all sorts of other switches/buttons to make use of all the extra conductors and achieve HOTAS :-) Just be sure to remember which wire goes to which pin in the OD button socket and the connector at the other end on top of the steering column.
I've only been playing with the autos for a few months, but based on what I've seen, if the button is still working, I'd pull the cover and check the wiring to be on the safe side. My wife's was broke right were the wires come out of the lever, so I had no choice but to buy a whole new shift lever. If you can catch it early, the time to pull the column cover is well worth it for the money you'll save not buying the new lever.
