last night i installed my dc strurt bar, very bad idea. so the instructions say remove the fuse box cover which i do. then it goes on to talk of a 10mm bolt below the drivers side windshield. cool, i see the bolt i got the wrench, i'm good. NO, as i go to lift the plastic cowl to get at the bolt the wrench drops. where does it drop to you ask? right into my fuse box. i hear a loud pop but thought nothing of it, cause i didnt see a spark. so i complete the install and go to bed. today i go to drop my baby at school and the TC disabled light is on, i'm throughing a CEL "power steering", my speedo is dead, and my car won't shift. all this pisses me off cause a) it was my fault b) i need to drop it at the dealer and c) i didnt even need to remove the fuse box cover.

 

wow man that sux bigtime hope it works out for you

 

be sure NOT to tell the dealer you made an "oopsy"

 

it'll work out just gotta put it in the shop thats the part i hate. waiting to get it back will driving some pos sentra base model. last rental i had and the ride sucked ass. might go for an suv this time.

 

i'll pay for my mistakes. if the car didnt do it on its own i wont pretend the blame a company i support. bad karma is bad krama and i choose to do the right thing even if it will cost me in the end, after all i am a christian.

 

props to you...not many people are that honest anymore...good luck with everything and hopefully it won't cost you an arm and a leg in the end

 

Sounds like you fried the PCM (powertrain control module). A wrench across the box will do that very easily. And everything you described fits right into that. You will probably need a new one.

 

thats why theres more poor christians then there are poor jews. ok ok just kidding karma is a mother ******

 

if they install a new one will i still be able to do 120+? i would be pissed if GM screwed me on this one.

 

YOu didn't drop the wrench the fuse box was in the way. Think of it that way and you might not want to tell the dealer it was your fault

 

dropped it off night owl service. didnt get a chance to speak with anyone. i'll see what they say in the morning. on a good note i will be driving a friends 2005 chrysler 300 for a coupla days. can we say freaking sweet!

 

and the box really was in the way....lol

 

service dept. manager just called said he would do his best to cover me under warranty. wanted to make sure i didn't try and reprogram anything when i told him, no, he said he's gonna push for warranty. i love GM

and they did notice the mods but i'm good.

 

good karma came around for ya

 

After all, Good karma is Good CARma.

 

just got word they fixed the car replaced the pcm and covered me under warranty. wants me to give him an excellent rating on the service report. not much to ask after they saw i had an accident and modded my car and neither of which they reported themselves. good carma is really good carma.

 

rock on.....i hope castriota is the same way here in FL......but i doubt it....they are a bunch of old people.....although when i went in to ask about raising my speed gov. the service manager, who is probably in his late 30's, was apologetic about not being able to do it "by law".....

 

just got done testing her out and i can still touch the 120s. a lotta sweat off my back. but yeah the car is in perfect working order now.

 

being honest can work out in the end
glade the car is running again
