[quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to sound condescending but I also don’t want to be taken for a ride. I’m 99% sure I know exactly what’s wrong with my car. It’s a minor electrical/harness issue in the shifter that’s pretty common in my model and year, and even has a “service bulletin” from the manufacturer from a prior year. A quick Google search will tell you all about it (my symptoms all match) temporary fixes (that have worked for me) and how to fix it (unfortunately I can’t do this myself and neither can my usual handy helpers.) I’m afraid since it’s nothing that shows up in the system as a fault code (my check engine light isn’t even affected), they will try to find a million other “issues” that will cost a fortune. How do I articulate this to the mechanic tomorrow without sounding like a know it all? Basically, “I don’t want you to spend hours trying to diagnose this, try this first.” [/quote]
