Help Needed throttle position sensor?
- Thread starter RSG
- Start date
More info --
The fuse #45 keeps blowing. I pulled out the airbag assy and found no wires chafed there. I finally figured it was happening when I pushed the tranny lever, usually from drive to park, ... so with care I got so I could put it into/outa gear w/o blowing the fuse which made the commute more enjoyable.
Last night I pulled apart the column (I searched these pages and a few years back T-bar had an OD switch problem with some helpful pix). Sure enough, the 3-wire line that runs up to the OD button had chafed thru to metal. I'm gonna split the cable and see if I can bully it up this a.m.
The basic cable routing is ok, but they should have used a tougher cable sheathing since its rubbing against the cast aluminum spider constantly.
Back together and taking for a test ride..

I want to thank CKyle and DPantzis for their help with wiring/fuses/relays! You guys are great!
While it's apart...anything else to look for or "improve"??

Was this just the sensor or the pedal assembly? How many wires on the one you used? Looking for all info I can get before I have to order. Thanks
It was the whole enchilada...and different from the original. And the one you quoted is not the one I ended up getting...Ben called me and said that was not what it seemed, and sent me:
1C3Z*9F836*C 56003 Pedal $77.10
It was so much different from the original that I thought that I got the wrong version. But it did fit after some head scratching.
BUT -- that wasn't my problem. I didn't need to change it! It was just the OD cable shorting out on the column. So if you're looking for a good used TPS assy, PM me!
