1) Does this accelerometer installation look correct (pic below)? It's wedged in there super snug below the HVAC duct and is mounted onto a black something-or-other below it with some sort of Velcro-like tape. The wires point toward the front of the car and are all connected appropriately with the wires on the other end of the connector: red-white-yellow-black all correspond and the connection of the plug itself feels tight.
With OEM size tires, I lowest I'd go is 25.9" front and 26.7" rear, measuring from ground to apex of fender openings. While you have the tan color connector exposed you can unplug it to test the power and ground wire.
3) Would the connections on the Damptronics be something that I could visually inspect? That is, if I pull the wheels and jack it up in my garage, would a connection issue be blatant to the untrained eye? Would it be something that I could easily unplug, wipe clean, and wiggle or screw back on to make sure it was seated properly? Or is there some special tool or mechanical gizmo that only a specialty shop could identify/repair? Would this be the best place to start my search (beyond the pic of the accelerometer below)? I'd prefer not pull apart the console and drag out my laptop unless absolutely necessary.

6) Is the presence of the light coming on and off when I press the Sport button any indicator that the DSC and accelerometer are installed/wiried appropriately? I recall it not coming on at all when I installed the DSC prior to the accelerometer so I assume(d) the light coming on may have implied that the wiring was correct. I.e., might the light come on even if the accelerometer was installed or wired incorrectly?

Tom, have you guys updated the annoying blinking light yet so the PASM light behaves differently?
