HELP - car sold - now having problem

Ha. You should know by now I'm a kidder.

My comment goes along the lines of this:

NASA spent over $1 billion dollars developing a ball point pen that would reliably write in a zero gravity environment. On the other hand, Russia just used a pencil.

Sounded at least half serious.

check the relays... I failed to do that with another issue, ugh. my explorer started acting up, thought it was a bad fuel pump. dropped the tank in the driveway, replaced a like $200 pump. still wouldn't start. my friend (mechanic) came over, opened the relay cover, tapped on the relay, fired right up. 2 days work, $200 in parts for 2 seconds and $12 worth of repair.

I admit, I thought of the day time sale thing also...

Found bad solder connections on the lamp out module - soldered them and everything works - they come back tomarrow to pick up the car.

Thanks everyone.

Did a similar thing on my Jeep. Replaced pump, had to drop tank, filter and relay and still no go. Turned out I was only getting like 6 volts to the pump and just had a bad connector. .25 cent part fixed it after I had spent a weekend and a couple hundred bucks.

Now I check voltage first. Hard way to learn an valuable lesson.

Glad you got it fxed and I am sure the seller feels much better buying the Explorer knowing that you did all of that to make sure the car was the way you told him it would be when you sold it. :cheers2:
