Ranting Here
Bare with me .
A coupla issues
Im in the middle of trouble shooting the HID Headlights
Use my diagnostic skills to identify the problem.
Notice that the Halo is also out.
Thinking that's too much of a coincidence.
:!: Just discovered that the outside halo is a function of the Xenon Bulb
That's still no excuse for not including a fuse chart in the manual !
So I think maybe I should inspect the fuses first.
Getting to the point... Damn fuses are hidden behind the glove box
And even if you expose those without breaking plastic in your effort
There is no explanation as to which fuse controls which circuit.
I check my manual ..Nothing !
I have to check a Z Post site to get the information that any Zed Owner should already privy to.
Next up Im thinking it possibly is a poor ground
And even though Im waiting on new buls from Germany and a fresh igniter from China
I decide to expose the offending parts just to check for loose or corrupt fittings.
Damn those plastic covers with the German engineered fasteners.
Somehow one of the fasteners popped off into the void under the light and behind the fender liner.
I don't find the connection or the flap fitting ....
So I flash back to my discovery that there is no oil dip stick and all the rest of the over engineered components that are awkward or impossible to service
And Im thinking this situation sucks.
I want a machine that I can establish a connection with. Not something that requires constant returns to the Dealership.
Speaking of which -
The metal bracket that supports the brake duct for my Z4M Bumper swap ....
It's been 5 weeks and apparently a worldwide search hasn't come up with this overpriced but necessary component.
Dealership has failed twice to follow up with me as well in spite of promising to keep me updated.
So Im sitting here sucking my beer, hoping the lost fitting falls out of it's hiding in time for the parts arriving from all over the world.
Maybe this is the start ?
That Mustang GT is looking better right now and at least I can work on that.
