I didn't bother contacting them about this. They wouldn't have done anything anyway. I had numerous problems with their harnesses back in 07. It ended up costing me $1000 in install fees and shipping chasing their problem and in the end they told me that they fulfilled the warranty by replacing the defective parts and I got stuck with the bill. Don't get me started......

The rubber grommet as a hole for every pin and is supposed to line up respectively. It didn't. The solenoid I heard clicking was a different one and had nothing to do with the brake. I repinned the harness and it works like a champ. Thanks for all of the help.

TCI wiring again

I rememeber that.
