Then what did I pull out from behind that panel that had "4x4" printed on the sticker?1988 = module in dash (1989/1990 = in panel behind seat)
My moms 88 BII had a bad controller, throw us for a loop too because the self tested ok, but after hours of testing everything, cleaned the shifter motor and the brushes. ended up getting a yard controller and everything worked.1988 = module in dash (1989/1990 = in panel behind seat)
With just the pigtail connector connected (other two disconnected), you should get a click, and several flashes of the red LED light (four I think) if the module self-tests OK. If it lights up solid, then test failed (that, or you didn't unhook the proper connectors).
Dunno how reliable the test is, but as said, failed controllers are very rare (49 out of 50 times it's the shift motor or it's sensor, or the little stopper bushing around the screw on the internal gear has disintegrated).
You unplugged the two connectors on the end? (leaving just the pigtail connected) If so, then yes, that's a fail.I did the control test and I got a constant red light??
There's always that one in 50... Looks like you got to be it lol.My moms 88 BII had a bad controller, throw us for a loop too because the self tested ok, but after hours of testing everything, cleaned the shifter motor and the brushes. ended up getting a yard controller and everything worked.

I always seem to get the strange problems to solve. There is always the 1% failure.There's always that one in 50... Looks like you got to be it lol.
Fortunately the OP's seems to have failed it's self-test so that at least makes it a lot easier.
