i just hope i don`need to pull out all 3 wires to fix it.
fusible links E and/or Z are connected to the short/ground.
i unplug the fuse block junction that is under the dash,
and the light turns off but, disconnecting the fuses in the I/P fuse box
the light stays on.
when the doors are open or the key is on the light is bright,
when the doors are close or key off the light blinks.
i pulled the 4 relays under the dash, and nothing.
i need more diagrams.
You need interior/exterior lighting diagrams...? Ok I'll get them later today.
anything more related to the gauges (circuit 39)
it`s looking like i may need to start pulling wires unless there is a relay or device/module that i have not unplugged.
I haven't had a chance to pull up the diagrams... I try and do it later today.
i hate to continue this thread but,
after taking my car to a shop all they could tell me is that the car was dumping fuel
and that is why it won`t start.
i thought that maybe the fuel injector could be the problem and after unplugging them
i still could not connect with flashscan.
i recharged the battery some and got a connection but after awhile connection dropped.
i was only 1 volt low (11.2)
everywhere i probe i have the same voltage as the battery.
LOL i am weary about taking the car to another shop after not finding
out anything from the first one so i am back to working on it myself.
i noticed that with the key fully seated in the IGN switch the security light
does not flash with key on, with it pulled out slightly the light flashes endlessly.

Hmmm...
Something strange is going on...
I assume the shop applied diagnostic practices/strategies...
When you take it to a shop, talk with the technician for a few moments, this will show you if they understand the importance of a diagnostic strategy.
LOL i talked to them and told them all i knew.
this was a reputable shop but, not a lot of Fbodies pass through it.
i just watched my IJBPW during cranking and it reached 122ms
i imagine that is why the car floods out before it will start.
battery volts dipped as low as 7.2
i previously thought that the car was not getting fuel because of P1626
it will start in flood clear mode the when you close the throttle fuel
continues to dump.
there is still no rhyme or reason for flashscans inability to download a tune,
though i was able to do it today.
once connection is made it does not drop until i disconnect then reconnect.
my new battery will drain down fairly quick with IGN on for awhile.
