Torque binding question

[chelli]

So i put in the fwd chip, and the first time i did, it didnt do anything, still binded like a... is there any way of telling if the fwd is engaged? While looking through the search, kinda read some people said a light would come on i think? So if i did read correctly, does it come on on the dash? Anyway, so i decided to try again today, and while it did not go away, the bind was a lot let severe, and i only have to tap the gas peddle to get it to move in full lock. Before, i had to put a bit more pressure. And also, not the stuttering in the back wheels are minimal, but it still will not roll if i let off the break. So any ideas?

When you put a fuse in the FWD slot, "FWD" should appear in red in the upper left (as I recall) of the instrument cluster. Don't know what's up if it still binds with a fuse in place, but it can't be good. Be sure the fuse isn't blown.

So if nothing comes up on the dash? whats wrong? Cause i have tried visually checking and physically switching out the fuses, and it works in the clock socket, so im sure the fuse is working. But i do not see any lit up fwd on the top left. Anyone have ideas on how to remedy this?

How clean is the FWD fuse socket? Mine was covered in dielectric grease and grit from 17 years of driving. Try spraying out the fuse socket w brakeleen and trying again.

Yeah you're right... kinda dirty with debris and stuff... i'll do my best to clean it out and try again.

I tried again after spraying brake cleaner and was going at it a cue tip but still could not get it 100% clean... put back the AC and the FWD and still no AWD light on the dash. Anyone had the problem of the fuse not working and maybe a way to fix it?
