My bad I meant brake lights. It’s wierd but i stopped caring. The skip shift sometimes worked and other times it didn’t. When I got it tuned all went away

Then you installed it wrong.

I built my own skip shift eliminator for my 2001 Formula and used it for 7 years with zero issues, then built one for a friends car and then for my 2008 Corvette. Never once had an issue.

It is physically impossible once the solenoid is unplugged for it to lock you out of anything, as long as you pulled the CAGS solenoid and not the reverse lockout solenoid. They are the same style solenoid, just on different sides of the transmission.

In regards to buying one or cheaper options. Search the web, all you need is a $1 resistor and you can make your own. All I did was bend the legs on the resistor, slide the legs into the OEM weatherpack connector and make sure the resistor sits down fully. then I tape the top of the connector up and then ziptie out of the way.

I tuned my 2017 Camaro myself, so I turned it off in the tune.

I agree 100%. I used the resistor method on my '00 Z28 (unplugged, install resistor, tape off, zip tie out of the way) for 12 years and it worked exactly as intended. This method has used since the 90's and I've never heard of folks having issues being described here.

For my '17 SS, I bought the one in the original post mainly to have a connector on both sides to protect the harness / solenoid connection interface from the elements.
