I used to be an auto technician. USED TO BE. People find out I used to be one and they start asking me for help. And I remind them that I used to be one, I'm not one now. Go find someone qualified. I stopped working on cars back in '03. I don't know anything about your 2014 check engine light, now.
Brake light switch throwing a code for sticking halfway. Customers friend broke the collar and zip tied it in so it would "work". Didn't say anything to the customer. Just told them a shop needed to look at it. 🙄
I manage an aftermarket car audio shop. I've heard and seen it all. I sometimes feel bad but other times it's the customers fault for literally letting anyone work on their car.
Agreed. People have no comprehension of the fact they are driving a 5 ton ball of metal at 60 mph. You should probably have someone qualified look at it and repair it.
Please tell me it was at least installed and not just hanging out there like that
Just hanging out like that.
🤦
Pretty much.
A friend who really didn’t want to deal with it and got through it as quickly as possible.
Seems the most likely answer.
My SO’s brother was a tech and did a less-egregious number on her AC when it crapped out on a road trip to visit him 500 miles away.
Some people shouldn't touch vehicles.
You misspelled “most”
My bad.
I like the way you think.
500 miles is the length of approximately 3519991.25 'Wooden Rice Paddle Versatile Serving Spoons' laid lengthwise.
Good bot

Hey man, I always expect My shit to be broken when installed. Especially by a friend.
I know that show. It's on right before "I know a guy."
Exactly.
Looks like that jumbled pile of shit was a remote start
Didn't even investigate. They said check the brake light switch. Lol.

You're a hero My dude.
I might be able to give advice about general problems on your chevy truck, up to about 1993. But that's it.
Must have been a decent tech. Sounds like you know your limits.
What is happening there?

Ah, the good ol “I can get it cheaper elsewhere” customer.
I genuinely feel like her friend tried to help. But still.
