I saw to grind off the bead on the rim and cover it in something but I can't remember what and I can't find where I read that info.
Yes, I will steer clear of any puddles!!! Unless a "have to" case--will stay home after a heavy rain!! On a self check of codes--I got a cruise--P0700. I don"t kinow what the cruise meant but I found that 0700 is the tranny computer. Could that be from him pulling the plug to dry it? Thank you so much for this site.  Kathy |
Kathy,
A new multi-function switch is about $75 but if you buy one make sure you get it with or without the fog light control if you have fog lights. It's not hard to put a new one in if you don't mind pulling things apart (steering column and wiring clips). It's definitely not rocket science.
Yes, the p0700 code could have been caused by the water or messing around by the mechanic. If you pull the negative battery cable off for 5 minutes it will clear all the stored codes. Then if the code comes back, you have a real problem.
If you pull the air filter apart by yourself and disconnect the battery cable, then I'd say you can definitely put a new multi-function switch in your self.
On the wheels, yes, sanding the rim and putting a sealer around the bead of the tire should stop the leak. Make sure that's your real problem. A lot of tires leak from the valve stem. A tire dealer should be able to help pinpoint the exact problem for just a couple dollars. They still use a half bucket with water in it to dip the tire to find the leak. Most decent places with do it for nothing.
