Is this tech trying to weasel = out of troubleshooting jobs or is the dealer trying to weasel out of = authorizing the time involved in this kind of work? Or is it some = combination of these factors? Enter the manufacturer into the mix, if = available .... Amazing how often they'll step in and get to the bottom = of a problem, as seen in Terry's post above. Z!
