There's no such thing as autozone here. I'm in Canada


Edit, just searched 15 pages... no VDC reset procedures... trying some other search strings now.

Twist on for now. Not soldering until I find out what exactly is the problem.

My Cipher allows me to reset VDC trouble codes. I didn't even know the VDC system stored trouble codes until I got the Cipher. If you know anyone with a Cipher have them take a look and see if a code is stored. Also, try unplugging the battery overnight - it may reset the code.

There are also other things that will cause the lights to stay on - like low brake fluid, bad wheel sensor, etc. It is very possible that you just ignored a 'new' problem because you thought the lights were indicating the 'cut wire' problem that you created.

Hindsights 20/20, but you would have been better off cutting the power wire to the VDC computer.

You have to turn a key to make the car start, yeah?

Sorry. Just thought it was silly of you to do and hope everything works out for you.
disabling the yaw sensor does much more than just ''pushing the button''. im too lazy to explain or search the forum for you, but the gist is thas it also disable the "brake lsd" on a vdc equipped car.

well, i guess it is, but if you did track your car you'd know how much a bother that sh*t is. theres probably a better way to do it anyways w/o frying something.
