Drive by wire - intermittent operation??

[neki67]

I have had a more or less similar experience and with me it wasn't a bad pedal.



To put the ECM in a nice spot, I had to have the cables to the ECM make a sharp turn near the ECM. Now the cables entering the ECM connectors don't have much of a cable stress/strain relief built into them so the strain of the cables making a sharp turn transmits to the pins in the connector. The problem was very intermittent and everytime I wanted to trace it, everything worked (obviously). But after a few weeks of annoyance an aggravation I found out there was too much strain on the cables and pins. I decided to put the ECM in a (for me) less desirable position but now with no pull or tension on the cables. Guess what? The problem never occured again . . . . .

When you look at the connectors they look really sturdy but once you open 'm up, you'll see that there's no cable stress/strain relief (whatever you call it) built into them.
