I have not had the code read as of yet because it is so sporatic of when it is on and off. Anybody had this happen to them? Possible short or loose connection somewhere?? www.kinyoto.com MYSPACE Music 98' Silver Contour SVT

It will come on and be on for like 2 days then when I get in the car and start it the light wont be on...then it may be off for a few days or few hours before I notice it back on again. I have noticed it came on one time right after I had hit a big bump in the road. I will get the code read though and come back with the results.
