Pump, air in the system, something like that. They must see a lot of them there to just throw out the pump. Sounds like you need a little diag time...or a magic wand j/k

Don't see why it would be a problem to have it bled. When I did my clutch and had to bleed the ACD I just put a vacuum bleeder on the bleeder screw and let it do it's thing for like 20 sec or so.

I've done a couple cars like that and it's always worked for me...if it is indeed air in the system.

mines been like this for a while, one light on at start up, once wheel roll, blip all three. you can cycle the pump by turning the key on and holding the gas down. you should be able to hear it for a brief second. you will have to do it many times if it does indeed work, however with mine, its dead.

good luck to you.

you could actually bleed it yourself. its actually simple. just floor the gas pedal then switch the key to on(not start just on). the acd pump should run for abt 10 sec. you should hear it or have someone infront of that car to listen for it.

You've gotten some pretty good responses here on your 'next move' if you don't want to work on it take it somewhere and have it fixed...can't fix it over the internet...launching has nothing to do with it.
