    The winter button does not stay down. And it will only work in winter mode if the trans in D. It will not work in 3.

    Not sure where that coil is located so I can't answer ya - should be on the workshop CD. Or crack the drain plug with a 3/8" drive ratchet and see what color the fluid is and compare to a bottle of RP.

    I have a hard time believing you got a mileage boost when all front end components and drive shaft were still turning even with the TOD clutch out. Those of us with TOD switches have not seen much if any increase in mileage when off.

    Tone where can I find the workshop CD? whats the sensor part#? and cant i get a sensor threw tonemonday?

    Isnt the TOD box under the passenger seat? Couldn't I take that apart and make sure everything is plugged in and wires are all good? Should I care about the possable winter short option under the dash? buy that I mean does the winter option really come in handy that much? the ol' VX has performed great in the winter so far.
