Description of the problem | I purchased by vehicle approximately two years ago and the battery, rather suddenly, died on me turning onto a busy street causing the car to stop working without a rolling start. Upon inspection of the car, a mechanic and friend of mine found "shady" work done on certain parts of the electrical system. I believe it was inside the distribution box, was found what seemed to be a fuse attached to a chunk of plastic that was just dangling in the box by just the wire and the box itself had be held closed by zip ties after seemingly having been forced open during a previous service. After the battery was replaced, car still exhibited problems with the cruise control requiring additional service. |
