Sup guys?
I'm just passing on this little story because today it my birthday(golf clap)...but it started out lookin' like it was gonna be a bad day.
Couple of days ago I noticed a slight electrical odor. I checked everything and couldn't find anything wrong, so I just chalked it up as another Cobra smell/sound thing. Car ran fine so I didn't think too much of it. 2 days ago the battery light came on briefly and went back off in about 20 minutes.
Outta mind, outta sight, right?......"Earth to Rick, maybe you DO IN FACT have an electrical issue".
Well, this morning I'm comin' off of shift ready to enjoy my birthday and the car starts sputterin' pretty good while on the freeway. All the dashlights are goin' nuts, dim lights, radio's jacked up, etc. Rick you have an electrical probem, probably the alternator(duh, no $hit). Well, I guess ignoring the problem didn't fare well for me this time. Car wouldn't start, dead as Al Capone.
So I get towed to a local Ford dealership and this is where my fortunes change. The service advisor was a tall blonde chick who loves guys in red Cobras(JK, sounds good though, huh?)...Anyways, actually, the service advisor is a totally cool dude...who happens to own a nice 03. I basically spill the beans about ALL of my mods including my stereo system becasue I honestly didn't have time for run arounds. They had my car fixed in 3 hrs...UNDER WARRANTY, no questions asked. I asked him "what about the mods". After a brief shoulder shrug, he said obviously not a problem and I was on my way.
Happy Birthday to me. Not all Ford dealerships are asses. If anyone in my area wants to know who it was, pm me.
