Ahh, PATS receiver! I had a locksmith out to the house a few months ago and my wife said he broke some "little black thing" off and said only 1 of 2 keys he made would start the van, the other would be only for door tailgate, sort of valet.
It has started just fine since then, up to and including today, just won't shift out of park (but I can also start in neutral and then drive fine, minus rear lights).
It does have adjustable pedals and ironically, I feel like all issues started the day I randomly noticed them and adjusted up and down a couple times
I will go unplug the adjustment circuit specifically in just a bit, and honestly it basically almost has to be because last test I unplugged REM, unplugged brand new tested brake pedal switch, and unplugged brake/cruise pressure deactivation switch and it still blew (though I have not once adjusted pedals since that one day one time, all that is left as I can see is the shift interlock, the adjustment circuit, *though they're actually mot specifically listed on my diagrams just the other 3 items (REM, brake switch, shift interlock) but it stands to reason with those 3
unplugged something is still tripping #11. I will note one weird thing, with them all unplugged 11 didn't blow immediately as all the previous times, it seemed to not be until I tried the windows or lock from master and then once 2, 7, 8, 13 (top of head) try and energize from SSP relay #3 and #4 then it blows. Not sure if this info helps but figured it may.
Finally, since starting is not an issue, literally first time every time, should I still pursue the new tumbler? My only worry is having to have some new PATS situation programmed but I am here to get it fixed and frankly to learn so will of course defer to you Ken.
Thanks so much for now and I'll report back, briefly, once I unplug adjustment circuit.
