You count the blinks. when it pauses it is going on to the next number. Turn the Key on-off-on-off-on or on-off-on-off-on-off-on-off-on, the number of on/off cycles was changed at some point, not sure when but my 93 was 5 and my 96 is 3.

5 then 5 is 55 = end of codes. No codes stored.
If it doesn't want to shift unles you do it manually it sounds like it's the TCM.

I don't believe so because the Transmission Control Module is a separate part and controls its own functions.

That's for sure. Wait and see if someone gives you more/better advice though.

I believe there is an inline fuse and a regular fuse for the TCM. I'm sure someone who knows better on the location of those will tell you where they are.
