i am having problems,
when i am sitting in the car and the car is turned off and key is out of the ignition, and the gear selector is in "P" the Arrows & D/S indicators on the knob light up one in a while, and then then when i turn on the dome lights they go off again. I am wondering if this is normal or is my wiring in correct. I also can't figure out why when i move the selector to R both the R and N on both the knob and console light up... |

Reggie, unfortunately you'll have to open it again and check the connectors again. I had the same problem during my install yesterday. Although the connectors were just fine, a little twisting on one of them solved the problem!

Yes, move the wires close to connectors around while testing the gears. You'll eventually find the ones causing the trouble.
I have lights package (lightning on the inside of the door) and it's always on?

Reggie, you're issue is most likely a wiring issue. You should recheck your connections.

Yes, but another member here assembled the wiring as per your DIY. I am 100% sure there was a slight problem with one of the connectors causing exactly what Reggie says. Gently "touch" of the cables near the connector solved it for me. Sorry, I can't explain it better, english is not my mother tongue.
Here's what I'd do.... open the center console while you see both R/N lightning up. Start with the connectors and move around the cables on each connector. You'll eventually see when you get to the one causing it. One thing I could say for sure for my case, the connector was near the knob hardware, the actual hardware that moves the gears and it was touching the connector while changing gears. I had to move it away from it, so it not on the way.

So is this newer version tried and true now? I've been reading up on the connection issues with ironic's harnesses, but you've made a more reliable version?

Yes, 100% working, no issues whatsoever since I created and installed mine. As long as you follow the directions correctly and use the parts I provided then your kit would be 100% working.
