Thanks for the info Randall.
So if I disconnect the battery cable and let the car sit for 45 minutes before I disconnect the wiring harness and take the seat out it won't do the light thing anymore?
Do I have to make sure the seat is plugged back in before I reconnect the battery terminal to keep it from happening?
What a pain when trying to do diagnostics on the engine. I'll go get it turned off and hope for the best.
