Subject: Re: Pull Key, wait 10 Seconds............... by volzfan on 2010/5/27 1:43:20 Rick, You pretty much confirmed what I thought. When the CLB is "hooked up", you do not hear the actuator.......so obviously it is "fooling" the system into thinking that it has done it's job. I am assuming, however, (and I stress ASSUME) that in my case, the switch in the actuator either does not make during the initial install, thus giving me intermittent "Pull key......" messages, or it does not stay in that position (maybe vibrates enough for the switch to open?). So now, that I have hooked back up the original system, the actuator cycles and DOES make the switch, so (so far anyway) I have not gotten that code. As far as throwing a trouble code......it has not done that, even before my last change. The guy, Paul, that TeeBee refers to says that the recall fixed the problem (by replacing the lockplate), and that as long as I have a strong battery, I will have no more problems. I suppose if the actuator motor failed, then that would have to be addressed, but since it really only moves in and out now, without actually engaging anything, it should last a while, I would think. It just seems to me, that with all the talented and smart folks out there, someone would have come up with a sure-fire, one time fix for this. Thanks for the discussion. I will keep posting updates as time goes on, and maybe this can someday be resolved for every C5 owner out there.  |
