Does it mean the sensor is malfunctioning?? The light only came on when I unplugged the stupid sensor. If i could avoid disconnecting the battery I will, I don't think I have the radio code handy.

If something goes wrong and you only messed with one thing, it has to be what you messed with.....unless of course it was built in the UK jk of course.
