I was able to look at a few things last night. I checked all the fuses to see if the ABS fuses were pulled or bad. They were both good. So no explanation as to why that light is on.
Removed the passenger seat to check to see if a previous owner unplugged the TOD... Not the case. So no explanation as to why the entire TOD display is not lighting up.
Also jacked up the car and removed both rear wheels, checked for any slop in the wheel for a wheel bearing or a dragging rotor and no issues there either. I'm gonna try re-greasing things to see if that helps.
So last night was a total bust. Is there a fuse or relay for the TOD? Just trying to figure out why the TOD display doesn't light up. I'm not super worried about the abs and I'm sure I can figure out the rotational noise but I have no clue on the TOD
Thanks- Mike
There there, that's no way to look at it. Try to see it as an exercise in intimacy with your new rig. Sounds like you got to know it in one night more than many do in several months, if ever.
Regarding the actual issue though...? Have you considered it may just be a lighting issue? The sound of the drivetrain is noticeably different with TOD engaging. Try to break it free on snow, ice, sand, or other slippery surface and see if you can feel or hear whether it's functioning. Also, try placing it into 4-Lo and see if that wakes anything up. Doing so should illuminate the full front and rear indicators.
Good luck, keep us posted.
