Jr. feeling any better? Maybe somebody should kidnap him & take him to dr. I had to go today ( actually practicing nurse, today's dr.'s day off. Had my D.O.T. pissical yesterday & got nailed for LOW blood pressure. My quack has had me on dope for HIGH blood pressure for years. Strange part is I have to do this D.O.T. thing every year ( school requirement, even though it's good for 2 years, school requires we get one every year ). They never said a word about my blood pressure, but when I went to my regular quack, she kept mumbling about " High blood pressure ". Finally decided I need to start taking medicine. Started me at 10 M.G. ( Micro Grains? ), after a month or two, bumped it up to 20, then bumped that up to 40. Have been there ever since. Now this year, D.O.T. dr. decided it was low. They said they got 70 / 50 & 60 / 40. My niece says I should be passing out if it was that low. The D.O.T. dr. wanted to talk to my dr. yesterday, finally got through to the appointment desk & she talked to the person on the phone. They said don't take the dope & come in this afternoon. Checked it my self this A.M. 1st check, 71 / 54. 2 - 3 hours later, checked it 96 / ??? ( I forget ). Dr.'s office, 1st check, 9x / ??? ( forgot again ). Couple minutes re-check other arm, 110 / ??. Said still low, stay off the medicine & come back in a week for a re-check. Continue monitoring at home, if it goes OVER 140 / 90?, call us. Job future is on hold for now.

well, we know that when the auto head lights come on, it's nighty night, and when you unhook the ground, it's wake up time. my guess is the auto headlight circuit is wacking out/ grounding throught the modual you bought. how hard is it to pull the electric eye, and check it?

Charlie, it happened to Penny with just the turn-signal being turned on, so it's not that. I think you may have hit the answer....PCM. Started checking causes for the CEL. One of the things the CD says is PCM.
