Another Reverse Lockout issue First of all I think there should be a sticky on this thing. There are so many posts about it and its like going in circles getting to what I am looking for so I also apologize if this has been dealt with but I have been looking for a while.
Bottom line, I know that there is a problem w/ the reverse solenoid. Its not the internal trans or the clutch. The solenoid seems to work whenever it wants to.
1 It sometimes is engaged or not.(car is on or off) It does this weeks at a time.
2 I know that the cables are not switched with the skip shift solenoid cables.
3 I don't see any blown fuses. There is no computer codes thrown for speed censor or any other related codes.
What I really need to know is Specificaly how is the best way to get to the solenoid and cables. I tried from the top and from the bottom. I also forgot at this point which side its on (driver or pass) because I forget what side of the shifters pivot that its on. Any help on this would be really appreciated and I am sorry if I am coming off as pissy in this post, but I think that the whole reverse solenoid is a stupid idea.

Yeah that must have been a relief for you. Heres where I know I have another issue. I remove the fuse and I still have the solenoid disengaged, though I know it should only disengage when there is current sent to it. So the problem is something very weird. Ugh!!!!

If you pull the fuse you should still have a hard time getting in reverse, the fuse has to be good and pliugged in for the reverse solenoid to work right.

right that exactly how I figure it,
except the opposite is happening
. Which leads me to believe the plunger is getting jammed. Sometimes open somtimes closed. Unless there is stray voltage going into that line. I have to get to that line but I really have a hard time getting to it.
