Problem installing e-cutout
Okay, see if anyone can diagnose this one....
Got QTP cutout, got it on the cutout no prob. Hooked the harness from cutout through the grommet in the floor board, ran wire through center console. Where the long wire connects to the harness for the switch, I plugged that in. Only thing left to do was hot/ground wires. Tapped into pinkish wire from shifter light in console, and tapped ground (black) of cutout to black of cigarette lighter. This way, lights have to be on for switch to work, and it doesn't stay on all the time.
Problem: It doesn't work!! THe light on the shifter plate still lights up, the cig outlet still powers cell phone charger. No blown fuses. Took everything apart, plugged it back in. Still nothing. How do I diagnose? Give me something to do, I'll go do it and report back. Please help!!! I really wanted to do this today!!

If it doesn't work after that, try to make sure you have power at the cutout motor.
