DSC and Traction Control with Neon

Ok. First of all I don't know if this is the right forum for this thread. If it isn't can a Mod tell me where it should go...

Anyway, here is what has happened...

I have had red neon installed on the undercarriage of my car for well over a month, rarely use it as it is illegal (I use it for shows and such). I have used it with no problems during that time driven with it, have had it parked with it on etc. Still no problems.

Until today, I received my new foglight bulbs in the mail, when I installed them this afternoon, and I turned on my neon, BOTH the DSC and Traction Control lights came on and wouldn't turn off.

My guess, is that when took the bottom shroud off to replace the foglight bulbs the wire for the neon that runs through them moved and is too close to the wheel sensor wires.

Does this sound like it is viable? Anyone? I will open up the bottom shroud tomorrow and see what I can find out.

Did you turn the car on and turn your steering wheel all the way to the right then all the way to the left to reset the DSC?
