Maybe that's why it's a countdown till mine gets stripped!

As for the CAT light, the sensor wires run under the passenger side carpet. 
Pull it up, and you will find a twisted pair of wires that runs through a 
hole and under the car. I believe they were black and red, but it's been a 
while. Cut and splice together, and no more CAT light!!
