Alrighty well i got the resistors inthe seatbelt switch!

I also figured out what was up with the brake light! What happened was the metal part that the socket connects to was corroded, so for now i just bent the metal part out a bit so that the socket connected with a non corroded section and wazzam! It works!

So next is just the abs sensor, then she can pass inspection!

Also, how do i get the check control light and check control on the obc to shut up? Will a reset tool do it?

Hooray! Check Control should shut up when you hit the Check button on the OBC. Or, hit Check and it'll yap at you for something else it thinks is wrong. What is the message you are getting?

Remember, Check Control works (basically) by open and closed circuits. Think back to high school science class. If the circuit is closed, everything is copacetic. If the circuit opens, there's no continuity and Check Control trips and knows what message to throw at you. Some of the circuits are flipped, too.

You do need a tool to reset your Check Engine light - since you are OBD II, you can get a Bluetooth code reader and pair it with your Android phone and the Torque app. If you are Team iPhone, then you're SOL and have to get a regular code reader/clear tool. Both options are cheapish.
