What's up everyone? I am new to te forum. Well not too new I have been doing ALOT of reading the past couple weeks. Recently bought a 2006 IP G35C 5AT . I just ran into the first problem I can not find a straight answer for by searching.

I opened up my console and swapped the male connectors in the harness for the tiptronic shifting directions. Now when I push down it shifts up and vice versa. Problem is once I got it all back together I start my car and my ABS, SLIP, and VDC lights are all on. Not only that but I can only get out of park by pushing the shift lock. I think this is the first time I have used the parking brake in my car as it is an auto and I live in FL so maybe that has something to do with the problem. I checked all the fuses I could find near the battery and under the steering column and they all looked fine. Also triple checked all the wires I touched or went near and they are all intact and good. I also did the gas pedal frenzy ecu reset and it didn't help either.

Please anyone have any info that could help me out. I could just take it to the dealer but the closest one is in Jacksonville (hour and a half drive from me). I am thinking maybe I missed a fuse or something? I have no idea. Unless it is actually my brakes or something and just a big coisidense.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

that suck.. take it's to the dealer.. don't mess with Fuse.. i burned my old 92 prelude once.. whole car caught on fire.. so don't mess with FUSE!

 

lol this got to me thanks for the good laugh

 

should have got a 6MT

 

LOL.. living in FL has nothing to do with your problem..

Best way to fix this problem is called "warranty".. Make sure that you keep your mouth shut about what you did to the triptronic... Just tell them you woke up to leave for work, and ever since you've been having that problem.

 

Don't mess with car... especially wire or Fuse.. I agree... take it's to the dealer... don't tell the dealer what you did... they will fix it... you will pay zero.

 

did u try switching it back to normal?

 

^+1 did you try going back to normal? Also why would you want to "downshift" when you are trying to "upshift"? I don't understand the purpose of why you did this.

 

its more natural and feels more like a stick like when you upshift from 1st to 2n or 3rd to 4th...

 

Yes I did try going back to normal. I figured out what it was. It ended up just being a blown fuse under the steering wheel. Replaced the fuse and now everything is back to normal except for being able to switch gears with a more natural feeling! I am use to driving an M3 with SMG so I am so used to switching up by pulling back that I couldn't even use the tiptronic in my G because I would just hit the rev limiter everytime trying to up shift by pulling back haha. Thanks for the replys though guys. If anyone else trys to do this make sure you keep the car OFF the whole time you are doing it. NO MUSIC haha that is why I had my car on and blew a fuse.

 

u do electronics work with the car running? ur crazy lol, i know what you mean about feeling more natural.. shoulda got the 6mt

 

haha yeah I figured the plugs for the shifter wouldn't shock me too bad .. I would have gotten the 6mt but i work downtown and I would not even be able t enjoy it seeing as how I am stuck in traffic most of the time.

 

I suppose, but if that's the case then why not get a 6MT?

 

good thing it runs to the fuse or else you feel the full juice of the battery, but still 5-10 v will still knock you out night night
