But I also blame car makers for that, the switch from petroleum based wire coatings to soy was just plain stupid. Even more stupid when I have to fix farm equipment, an environment with rodents abound. If you need a connector, I have access to a wreck where I can simple cut out a chunk of harness with connector. 2006 V8 if I recall. But not til next week, going on an group outing this weekend.
I thought about trying to repair it but 3 wires are yellow with a brown stripe 2 are yellow with a black stripe 2 are yellow and I have no way of figuring out what goes to what. So I am going to pull the harness and replace
While not today, I did finally get this done. Installed some decking for my rack to make it much more usable. But I also had to come up with something to anchor stuff down with so I crafted some various parts to make some nice eyelets for my ratchet straps (with safety claps, highly recommended). Very pleased with how it all turned out. On the left side I can load up 5 bundles of firewood with straps going front to rear (hence the two rear eyelets). I then put a cargo next over them, doubled over, incase any wants to move about. The right side is setup for a maximum of four large Dewalt Tough cases. IP rated, so they can handle rain. Each gets two straps, a third through the handle if I will be going sketchy places to make sure they stay put. Now I want to work on a better setup for the traction boards and figure something out for jerry fuel cans.
I don’t know what to do I took my vehicle to Jack’s transmission here in Muskogee he just put it on one of those machines to show codes he said it needs a torque converter clutch solenoid and then said you may as well put a new transmission in it! Then a dealership called me and said I’ll give you 1000 for it because it needs a new transmission but then he change his mind and said he would give me nothing! I bought this vehicle in the middle of February 2020 I have had all of this done:
*Paid Cash
*Clear Title
*New Front End
*New Air Compressor for Air Ride
Suspension
*New Air Suspension Springs (Air Bags)
*New All 4 - Brake Shoes &/OR (pads),
Brake Pad Wear Sensor, Disc Rotors
*Flush Brake System
*New Air Conditioner Blower, Blower
Motor Resistor and Relay
(NEW AIR-CONDITIONER)
*New Radiator and Hose
*Power Steering Flush
*Oil Good
*Brand New Set of 4 Tires 265/60R18
*New Battery
*Sunroof is the front one opens and tilts.
Features would only allow me to add

Seating and are not made to open, all 3
have sun shades that you can open and
close.
!!!MOTOR RUNS SMOOTH AS LONG AS REGULAR OIL CHANGES COULD RUN 300,000 TO 400,000
LAST WEEK FROM A COMPLETE STOP, when I started off it jumped, next light did it again. Then it just slipped a couple of times and ran fine all the way home 50 miles. I noticed when I had all these repairs completed the technicians failed to look at my transmission fluid to see if it was dirty???
The only light that is on is the transmission light in amber color. I have not been driving it, except yesterday I tested it a mile up and back down the street barely felt like a think with a very quiet noise, someone test drove it yesterday and said it I think your car is out of gas so that’s what it felt like to them.
I’m so confused!!!! I’m thinking about getting the transmission fluid and filter replaced first. Please help someone I don’t understand a lot about this car in the first place. I am a 57-year-old woman and do not have any body around me at all that is mechanically inclined. I was going to sell it if it’s a Transmission but if it’s just an easy fix I would rather keep it!! Here is a pic of what I got from Jacks transmission:

A transmission specialist that works on European cars like BMW/VW/Audi etc will be familiar with the transmission and hopefully provide you will correct advice, i would be starting with checking the fluid level before anything else although it is likely that you need a new torque converter and also possibly transmission.
