I got mine off Ebay. One of the best "tools" I have ever bought. Keeps my garage in the mid 70's year round even where there is a foot of snow outside.

Glad to hear that it's off. That confirms that you won't need the durametric to reset it.

Good news/Bad news:
Bad, I started pulling the harness off my parts car and found out that the connector is cracked worse than the one I already pictured. I checked another car and there were cracks in that one too.
Good, I can still send the one that I already pictured on Monday and refund part of your money. The Right side connector on that one is in good shape, just the left side had the crack and will still be fully functional if you want it. Just let me know what you'd like to do.

Here's a pic of the trunk with the liner removed showing where the yellow plug is:

Thanks, it's for sure pinched wire right by the harness like in the picture I posted. Because now I have the ABS and my pad wear lights back on. They stayed off while driving for a few minutes then came back on.
As fas as the harness, maybe best to refund me and Pelican sells a new aftermarket one for $80 and that should do it. I really don't want to use a cracked connector. i really do appreciate the photos for visuals.
And that yellow plug looks huge, isn't there only 4 wires in the harness?
