| Message: | The relationship of parts, sensors etc is sometimes tough to understand and accomodate. If you get a "good ol boy" company building a mod kit for a car without understanding ALL the implications of what they are changing I can see some strange things happening. Especially when you literally have an on board computer monitoring various information to adjust settings. Adding fog lights should affect nothing unless you hook megawatt lights into a circuit that is already tweaked to the max and is also providing some sensor or the cpu with power and/or signals. It might be stretch but if the person doing the install just grabs the nearest hot wire to tap into... Not knowing if the "pulley" shares a belt with the a/c compressor this may be totally stupid but.... what if they do share the same belt and it is tightened up too much causing the compressor pulley to fail. I'm not trying to defend the dealers/company here but I just think that we may sometimes miss linkages between components. Likewise as you suggested the overzealous warranty watchdogs may go too far in drawing linkages. Hopefully these watchdogs have receive a lot of training from the company and the engineering dept. on the various system interdependancies. Like I mentioned in this day and age when some cars can literally call the dealer to say "I'm not working right...." it's not always obvious how parts and functions are related. | ||||
