[Nuts]

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Andy, I'm just a bit north in Batavia so I would like to attend one of those install meets sometime. Good luck with the paddle shifters!

Nice, a few of my buddies are from Batavia.

Andy:
"Spiral Cable/Angle Sensor" is the piece that transfers all the cables from behind the steering wheel to front. This piece spins freely onto itself and it also Contains a Senor that keeps track of the angle of the steering wheel.

Although this part is Keyed, and can only be installed 1 way, the part that spins, can also be installed 180 degrees upside down.

So that was it. When I took out the Angle Sensor, I installed it 181.2 degrees upside down. The dealer was concerned that why this happened and immediately noticed the Paddle shifters. After I assured them that I had taken the FX to the Alignment shop and the Steering wheel is now straight, they recalibrate the Sensor. I drove the car for 1/4 mile exceeding 45MPH and the lights turned off.

Took the Steering Angle sensor off and rotated 180 degree, put everything bad and went for a test drive for more than 5 miles of above 45 mph. The slip and vdc light still on:mad.::mad.::mad.:

I think Chris has to take to dealership to get sensor calibrated.

Nothing is easy with Chris' car. It was at my cousins for a week too.

Hey Andy, I can take it to the Dealer and see what they say. Were you able to install the Bump Stops on Ed's?

Chris, I may had missed it, but when did the warning lights start to come on? After the e-fan was done?

 

[Chedman13]

After any install

After efan and after paddle shifters. Poor Chris.

Just to confirm, I never had any lights nor did Lance on his eFan install. And Andy never had any lights on his Paddle Shifter install.

Thanks Ed. I pretty much gave up on it and going to tell Chris to take it to the dealer. I'm pretty sure that the Steering Angle sensor got all out of wack when it coupled with the wrong Spiral Spring. Like John said, if you do a direct transfer without having spinning it around you should not have this problem. No such problem when I did mine. I took the Steering Angle sensor off the old Spiral Spring and transfer it onto the new Spiral Spring with the Paddle Shifter.
