My car is an automatic and sometimes will shift, sometimes will not. We took it toa dealership to get new sensors put in the transmission and he suggested that the transmission relay (referred to in the red arrows) might be the problem b/c its giving off codes that arent true. He also said that we would need a wireharness, which is closer to the bottom, also indicated my red arrows. Do you think this could honestly be the problem? Anyone have any other ideas? I really dont want to get a new wire harness b/c they might screw the wiring up and then the car would be crap. Please help!!

I would go get a second opinion from a transmission repair business, also if you can post any transmission codes her that will be a big help as well.
