Regrounding the pressure sensor will not help activate the auxiliary ports. Why would it? Unless you have an 86 this mod doesn't need to be done anyway.

If you want to mess with grounds, read this:

What year car is this? Curious.

The NZ is right, I'm just curious what year car. Although it won't be a grounding problem that is the cause of them not working, IF they are not working right. IF

Nope. Won't cause any adverse effects at all. None.

i remember there was a ground on the transmission when we swapped it but didnt put it back on because we forgot where it was grounded to so we just took it off. where does this thing ground to? could this be why the auxilarys arent opening?

Did you look at the grounding writeup?

The ground on the transmission goes to a clip on the firewall.

As your aux port system is totally mechanical, nothing electrical will prevent it from working. Normally they get gunked up either on the actuator or inside the manifold from disuse.
