Follow up,
After calling R&R Electronics and trouble shooting with Chris over the phone, we found the BIRD 8 pin connector position 8 white wire was not getting a ground signal. Chris told me to cut the wire and ground it to the chassis on the plug side and abandon the other side, which did work. So, so far it's fixed. I'm really glad I called those guys at R&R instead of just throwing money at it. Turned out to cost nothing, I'm happy. Thanks all for this forum!
