    as well start practicing body panel removal. thanks for
    any and all help so far from an old newbie.

    How long do you want to leave it with the brake off?

    You might try putting it in ACC mode. That is key off but power applied to "some" of the system.

    Default I Always Leave the Parking Brake Off

    I always leave the parking brake off - cable is broken. If it's in neutral, some body could roll it any old where.
    Getting that fixed tomorrow. Kind of excited. Is that weird?
