Well, there's good news and there's bad news...
Good news;The car is finished...
The bad news: While it was there, I assume just recently, the brakes took a dump (again) hard pedal etc.
Dean said "I don't know why every time it's here basically just sitting you lose the power assist"...
Now, it was in that shop about 7-8 months ago for suspension work, wheel bearing and other items and it happened then. At the time, I was having issues with my turn signals and radio and told them to please check the ignition switch, because I was noticing that when I barely moved the key with the car running, things started working again. So they changed out the ignition and the brakes came back, and I stopped having my turn signals cut out etc. All was well again.
Drove the car the last 7 months and brakes never had an issue, till the news yesterday.
He said he found the ABS 30 amp fuse in the engine compartment was blown, and couldn't locate one locally, so I pulled the master fuse block from my parts car and brought it to him...but he's not working until Monday, and he's the only guy i want working on it, so...
Hurry up and wait again.
I'm thinking that this time the blown fuse is a symptom and not the cause. Pressure switch going? Pump? I have some spare anti-lok relays I can have him swap out if the pump is not shutting off...
Sc's are interesting cars...that's for certain...
BTW. Should mention he isn't charging me anything for the valve cover gasket 'loose heat shield job because it took so long and they did it on (rare) slow days...he is insisting I don't owe him because of all the work I've given him with that car. Honestly, I don't want that because I want to know I appreciate that he even works on the thing...Anyone else ( that was in the know) would run for the hills when they seen it coming .
