I managed to get the ficht software running.

Error code is intermittent 28...which is the shift switch
was stuck *on* for some time.
It suggests that I readjust cables and check/lube switch.

I am still not convinced the switch is working
anymore on account of my studying the whole
mechanism.

I am in the north east....at least I am not missing
any good weather!

Does it look anything like this?

Help... could this be shift interrupter ??

I sometimes have this problem with a 2000 FICHT, but it's not often.
It's usually a cable adjustment and if I can find my service manual
this afternoon I'll follow up.

Unless Bill shows up first with an answer.

I have the manual, but the manual says I need the "accessory" manual to adjust the cables.

I also have the ficht software, but as Murphy dictates, I am having problems with my
serial port on my laptop.

I removed and checked the interrupt switch, VOM says it is good.
I reinstalled it and during the shifting process it is *never* actuated.
The switch clips in to a bracket that is spring loaded and appears
like it is supposed to be compressed during the shifting process.
I had it connected to the VOM and it is never compressed.

I don't see any cam like behavior or any piece that has any
cam like eccentricity.

Ah - well, if you get the laptop to talk to the EMM, look for an
interrupt fault - I can't remember the code, but it's 25 or 28 - I
still can't find my manual. :)

If it pops up with the interrupt code, then it's a cable adjustment to
the interrupt switch.
