Friendly dealers

Ok. Since i can't figure out how to get the fuse out (wipers) and check it myself, i suppose i'll follow the book and go to the dealer. Is it possible to maybe have pulled something or pinched a wire when installing the cold air? This blows, maybe i should just stop modding, every single mod i've done has caused me some sort of problem. I'm trying to do the dealer thing as a last resort, i know they're not gonna be happy w/ my car, i'll have to pull the batt out again and check the wires i suppose, my fuse box is really wedged in there anyhow :(

I would think that if you did it during the install, that it would have stopped working immediately. So I doubt that's what did it. Holy cow, I would never go to a dealership fo anything. I would find a way. I came really REALLY close when I was trying to chase down my misfire problem. I kinda blindly threw a lot of money at it, and finally fixed it myself. But I'm sure that's nothing compared to how much money I would have handed over to a dealership to be RAPED.

Good luck, though.

w00! I fixed it! I screwed up a ground wire when i tightened it down too hard, it just kinda half broke it i guess, and didn't break until.. whenever. But it's fixed now and all's well :biggrin:

I HATE electrical things. That's probably why I don't have amps and subs. That and I have no money. It seems all it does is rain here so I would probably freak out if my wipers quit working. Glad you got it taken care of.

Speaking of dealerships (kinda) I broke down and paid a shop to change my oil. They take me back to my car and inform me my brakes are bad, but I already knew that. They told me they could replace them for $300 custom_images/emoticons/shocked.gif And that's just for the fronts! Just cuz I don't change my own oil doesn't mean I don't know anything.

I went to a Tire Kindom for a Free Inspection on Angies Honda Accord Brakes. It was her right back caliper... it was sticking and had ruined the disk.


They told me they would have to replace the whole caliper and rotor. The only problem according to them.... Calipers and Rotors ONLY COME IN PAIRS! They said it would be about 700 dollars to replace two stock calipers and two stock rotors on a Honda Accord.

I though to myself I could almost get a complete Big Brake Kit for that much money on my cougar. I told them to take the car off the rack.

Greased the caliper, replaced the pads and rotors for 50 bucks. Never had a problem since.

The funny part is that Honda Dealership wouldnt fix the problem. They said who ever serviced the vehicle last was responsible. Funny thing is.... they were the last to service the vehicle. They are shhhhaadddy!
