 Problem Solved
To answer your question, the light is off the whole time, apparantly it for some reason it thinks that it's normal.
Actually, I had to take it in to a mechanic, because after doing some research, it turned to that something was wrong with the range sensor. sure enough, new part, and it's working fine. jusging on how the old part looks, I think some crap got in and screwed it up.
I also had to take it in because me, my mom, and my dad have been juggling 2 cars, and I have to get to school, and my mom's car has a touchy pedal, and has a small back window (convertable), and has no way of making a line in, meaning that I can't use my mp3 player(the main reason why I like my tape deck, and i'm not switching to a cd player). |
