I just finished reading some other posts and article #24 in your website. And things are starting to make a lot of sense after figuring out how the codes relate to each other. But I have still a few questions.

1.- I see that you got a code 6 on the DM (socket 19 or LED), which is most likely related to the code 2 on the EA/CC/ISC Module (socket 7) and the code 30 on the ABS/ASR module (socket 6).
The code 2 on socket 19 appears to be a "catch all".
But then codes 3, 5 and 6 (socket 19) are codes for each individual component captured in code 2 (also socket 19).

I am just wondering, why didn't you get a code 3 (alone), given that it was the only failure (ETA)?

2.- As I read further down the same page, you did get a code 7 (I assume it is a mistype, it should have been a code 6) for the Starter lock-out/backup lamp switch (S16/3).

In the second case you did get the code for the specific failing component. Code 6, assuming mistype, for the Starter lock-out/backup lamp switch (S16/3). And the code was right on.

I am in the process of removing the engine wiring harness (disconnecting and tagging). I will try to finish all the "desoldering/rewiring/soldering/heat shrinking" by Saturday.

Bought a new battery yesterday. And hopefully will fix the busted/leaking brake hard line on the weekend. After that, I will delete all the codes and take it for a "spirited" 100 mile drive on I-40 and I-95, then I will check what codes reappear.

Where is this switch located?
Closed throttle position contact switch (S29/3)

Finally, on another note:
I pulled a vacuum on the AC system (it was empty), it held for about 4 hours with no change, so I decided to charge the system. The compressor is not coming on, is there something I can do to "trick" the compresor to come on? (assuming the compresor is OK)

I remember reading somewhere to "jump" some switch, but cannot remember the location or name of the switch.

Thanks
