Well, not CERTAIN yet, but it re****ted a keyless entry / antitheft
antenna error on Monday. Disconnected the module in the steering
column and cleaned all connections with electronic contact/control
cleaner and it has not misbehaved since. We'll give it a couple of
days. Dad's on a bus trip so the shop has it 'till friday. They'll be
driving it daily to see if it acts up.
Who'd a' thunk it?
