I drove RS for the first time this month today. It's still at the dealer, and it looks like we are likely going to arbitration. A mechanic friend of mine and myself went down to examine the car today. We are going through schematics, to try and find concrete evidence that the radio power source (what is powering the WB and BG) are not connected to what was fried. The tech also told me that Mitsu Tech line has seen this problem when there is no sign of a water leak (like mine).

If I don't succeed with Mitsu, it shouldn't be too hard for us to fix. At this point I want it fixed out of principle.


BTW, who is psushoe?

Another interesting note, the dealer had the phone number of the guy that denied my warranty claim (Mitsu district rep) displayed in a place that I was able to see.

My friend had the same problem as you Ben. He spent 2 hours redoing the wiring. To me, not worth the fight. But thats your call

Good Luck with it.

psushoe is Aaron who drives the turbo'd Sentra (gray w/huge front fenders) in SM-F with Philly region.

dude, face it, I suck at driving. I may talk a lot about it, and absolutly love racing in general, but that doesn't make up for lack of skill.

The guys we have in our region (Mike, Corey, Simmonz, Cy, ect) are exponentially better then I am. Maybe in like 10 years I'll be as good as they are, but even then I'll still be not good enough to do anything except maybe be an instructor.

the good thing is that I have no problem with the fact that I suck because I know there are people out there who suck harder than I do.

The repair shouldn't be too bad if we jump the connector. Given the option, I'd prefer to keep it as close to OEM configuration as possible and have the entire harness replaced. Plus the car has been down for nearly four weeks now, I've invested too much time to give up now. The dealer also wants a Diag fee of a few hours. I wouldn't necessarily be willing to pay them more than an hour (if anything), but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Ah, the SOB that edged me out of second at the Porsche event at the airport. . Just kidding about the SOB comment, he drives the **** of that little Sentra.

Aaron, have you ever considered painting the fenders? It would look great if they were color matched.

Chu, were you in West Chester yesterday? I saw a black Evo with your spoiler drive by the Airport around lunch time.
