I am not a mechanic by any means and in fact detest working on a car. When I do work on a car if it is a significant problem, I ask for help on this forum, the Buick forum and the Chrysler forum. There are normally many very experienced - even apparently professional mechanics - who seem more than willing to help and assist people with mechanical problems.
I especially appreciate the help and assistance from carfixer007 and Tech II during this thread. Had it not been for carfixer007 providing the wiring diagram I would not have had a clue about the wiring on this car. Try to find a wiring diagram on the internet - not out there, not one that you know is accurate anyway. AutoZone has a diagram but it is not complete - does not indicate circuits or ECM pin numbers, which makes the diagram almost worthless. AutoZone also has the ECM connectors (2), when in reality there are 3 and the way they are numbered is incorrect.
At the beginning of this thread, I posted a link to a thread involving the same problem/codes I was experiencing. The people involved in that thread went straight to the transaxle also, not to the fuses. If you look at the codes, they point to solenoid B - they don't point to a wiring problem. Is it logical to check wiring when the codes are saying solenoid B? In the future, IF I had a wiring diagram and something is throwing a code and there is a fuse associated with the wiring, it would be wise to take a quick look at the fuse.
