Fuse 5 is always hot. It goes to a "FET" in the fuse "smart" box then to the shifter assy shift/park lock solenoid. I disconnect the connector at the shifter (thus disconnecting the solenoid) and current flow through the fuse is still close to an amp. Does this mean I have to assume there's a malfunction in the "smart" fuse box and I can never put that fuse back in? What kind of malfunction? What part would I have to replace? Do FET's go bad and dump current to ground? I've got the solenoid pulled out and secured so I can shift out of park with the solenoid unplugged. Maybe I'm better off without a locking shifter.
