Default 1600 miles, dead at the dealership.....

well, my truck is dead. it got taken VIA wrecker to the dealership in Florida(im from Texas), im in Florida on vacation. Went to get in it this morning, keyless entry didnt work, unlocked it manually put the key in the ignition(with the horn blowing constantly), nothing. ABS light is on, no gauges work, everything was flashing, it wouldnt even attempt to turn over. i drove it in the rain yesterday and now it is dead today. if i cant drive my truck in the rain without it giving up on me i may have to find another make of vehicle...sounds like a security system issue to me, but it still leaves me stranded here until they get it fixed...

Push the lighter in three times...and pull the bulb out of the glove box.

take them to court, make them PROVE that your installation caused the failure. you're not the first guy a dealership has tried to screw, and you won't be the last.
