    I got the call from the dealership, and the bad news. The consensus is that the instrument panel/gauge cluster is defective. The repair, including parts and labor, is just shy of $900. Of course the...

    I finally gave up and took it to the dealership today. The dealership, Star City in Lincoln Nebraska, says it will be probably a month and a half before they can run a diagnostic on it. The fee for...

    I recharged the new battery, and while the battery maintainer was still attached the faults seemed to clear. This at about 13.6 volts. Removing the maintainer dropped the voltage to about 12.75...

    I am fairly comfortable with electrical and electronic stuff, having spent most of my life working with it. But during most of that career I had the benefit of circuit diagrams. I'm flying pretty...

    Yesterday 8/11/2020, I replaced the battery. I also reseated the relays in the fuse panel. It started right up, and all seemed good. I didn't get a quarter of a mile from the house until it started...

    I replaced the OEM Kenda at just under 10K because it was worn out in the center. I got a Kumho Exsta from Sam's Club. I took it to the local high school shop class and got it swapped. I could not...

    My 2012 RS S just started doing the same thing yesterday 8/9/20. I suspect the battery, since I think it is OEM battery. I'd have thought that since the machine starts with no issues, and will...
