Okay,

I did the paper clip code read to see what codes would come up. Since I am not real smart or mechanical on these codes, here is what I got.
When I turned on the key it did this,

SES light flashed twice
paused,
then flashed 9 times consecutively,
paused,
flashed twice.

then repeated above sequence
:confused: :confused: :confused: :help:

Go check to make sure the 2 big nuts for the main electrical cables are *tight*.. I have had a code 29 several times and it just meant that the nuts were loose.

Worth checking before ya buy a relay.

Yes, and make sure that they are TIGHT too. If not, they will melt down the relay. I have a thread from last year on this showing the aftermath of a melt down/loose nuts.
