That says that the 5th gear switch in the end of the tranny is not working right. Its the big electrical connector near the
tranny mount. Logic is that the 5th gear contact opens in 5th gear and diasbles the upshift light, same thing happens and
closed and wide open throttle (via the two switches on the throttle linkage).
