I was messing with the hvac doing the led swap and it seemed to have messed up the trans or something?

i can physically shift to 3 2 or l but when im driving the trans doesnt do so for me...it has to be something electrical ? any ideas what i need to replace???

^ Agreed.... auto driven like manuals normally tend to have problems in the long run.. Lower gears on an auto should only be use when the weather calls for it.

Well first off you gave a horrible explanation. So like explain the problem in more than one crappy sentance! Are you trying to shift donw to 3-2-L while already driving in D or are you trying to start in L-2-3 and it wont do it that way? You gotta be more specific dude........Duh!!!

Oh and moving the lever into a gear is mechanical not electrical!

yeah so messing with my climate controll circuit board is going to effect the transmission?

It is electrical obviously! Since changing the leds voltage regulator and transistors blew some sort of fuses or relay. And i dont know which ones to replace.

Sounds like you need to learn how to work on your car. Shifting an automatic is a mixture between electrical and mechanical.

However, more information is needed about what exactly you replaced or messed with. Did you disconnect the battery? Where you anywhere near the shifter? Did you mess with grounds?

Seriously, stop acting childish if you want help.

all i did was reconnect the circuit board for the climate control and my windows, and blinkers dont work. Plus....if i try to go from drive to 3rd gear or 2nd or l...it doesnt recognize that im doing so and it doesnt shift properlly. I just want things to work again...and im not trying to shift a auto....i just dont know why it doesnt work properlly anymore and i want to know how to fix please!
