So what happens here if the Radio-stereo-I-frikken Pod- Blueberry system is also broke? Happens all the time...a faulty sensor sending a faulty Fault to the faulty computer...But you must send the vehicle on a flatbed to the dealer who uses his diagnostic computer to tell you ...whatever they come up with...and you get the thing back..only a few thousand bucks out of pocket...if you haven't bought a secondary insurance policy betting that something like this may happen... They could just leave access to the taillight bulb and save you money...but where is the profit in that for the dealer, the insurance company, the tow guys, etc etc etc. Don Hanson On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 6:30 AM, Dave Mcneely <mcneely4@cox.net> wrote: > Some vehicles, Mercedes comes to mind, notify drivers via the sound > system when a malfunction occurs.
