Phoenix Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Luckily, not far from civilization, just nowhere near home. Three warning lights lit up. I exited freeway (headed up to go skiing) and pulled over into a gas station. Called roadside assistance. If the lights aren't flashing, you can drive the car. They were lit, but not flashing. The brakes were function, but the sensor was not. Traction control was not. A new ABS module had to be ordered from Sacramento. I'd already gone to the airport and rented a car. There are no open dealerships in Utah on Sunday. It's against the law. :wacko: That was Monday. We were supposed to drive home Tuesday. Lesson learned: only parts managers understand how parts are ordered and shipped. New module fixed ABS light and powertrain light. Drove home. Dealer here told me it also needs a new hydraulics module. I'd be cool with it except that the rental is a Focus and it's a POS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamEDGE. Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 oooh a focus, I guess they wanted to humble you with one of those shit boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Indeed. It makes you conserve gas just because it's too much a PITA to drive. You'd rather stay home than be bothered. Hydraulic unit being replaced tomorrow in my Edge. Ordered from Detroit. Dammit. They do hoard the parts in the depots, don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
