As for the Flickering, I've done it to my car and wolud be happy to help you when you get the cable.

OK. So I now have the cable. And it looks like I now have NCSEXPERT and NCSDUMMY, as those were part of the download the other guy pointed me to.

OK. Thanks again for your help. Tell me, is it anything like the link below? I've done a bit more research and am concerned about messing something up. I've seen the carly type option, but the price isn't nice and besides I don't really want to pu$$y out of the project.

If it is like this or pretty close I could probably handle it:

The numbered steps give me some degree of confidence....

Just like that.
Do some searches for NCS Dummy which makes it even easier.
