but once anything gets into the electrical system it will
take a lot of training and skill to solve the problem.

That's bull**** on the training. It isnt hard to check the plugs
to see if one of them looks bad and to try moving them around
if they look fine. And to try new plugs, that doesn't cost much.

Same if one of the electric windows stops working or the battery
goes flat much more quickly than it had done when it was new.


What about the ECM?Â* Does you guy have what is needed to check it out
and change parameters?


Not only that, to reprogram it for better performance too.
Trivially buyable on the net.

What about the many microprocessors?Â* How do you track them down?


You dont normally need to, they dont usually
fail and if say you diagnose that whats in the
'radio' or the screen has failed, you just replace it.


ECM problems are not "fixed" with a tune chip. Fact is, microprocessors
do fail. Just replace the radio? A head unit for my car lists at $3000.
The more you go on how simple it is the more you show how little you
know of new cars.


I bet nobody fixes them. If it is on warranty they eat it, if it is
off warranty it is yours. As far as I know, they are a FRU.
