So I was having an issue with my brake lights not working unless I jammed the pedal down REALLY hard. So I thought to myself "maybe the brake fluid is low and the fluid actuated switch is not getting the proper amount of fluid to... actuate?"
So while it was in getting its annual safety inspection I said to the shop foreman "hey! would you mind making sure the brake fluid is topped off? My brake lights only work if I really stomp on the pedal. ( if the brake fluid level is up just let me know and I will trouble shoot it further."
called them this past Monday and asked if they were done with it. they answer "yea but we had to do some re-wiring to get those brake lights working!"
this is about the time I refrain from putting my boot up their a$$. because they were technically working and all my other lights were functional including blackouts so I knew they were wired correctly. Giving them the benefit of the doubt I politely remind them that I only authorized them to check the fluid level and advised them that I would pick it up on the evening of the 11th..after all the Remembrance Day stuff had calmed down.
Went to pick it up (dark) turned the switch to service and voila! the brake lights work..sort of. still have to press really hard on the pedal. ok so now what did they screw up!?!? I say out loud. My wife realizing that my blood pressure is going to break their front windows states 'its ok! they will just have to fix it!"
turn the rest of the lights on and all is fine except my left side black-out illuminates bright white and the red running lights do not work.
It is an easy fix for me but time consuming. Will they be smart enough to PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS? I don't trust them now.... if they didn't understand all those extra wires why did they touch it? so there it sits.. since Oct 5th waiting still for brake fluid to be checked....
just had to rant it out. ! gonna chew their heads off tomorrow morning
