My mech had to take apart most of Peej's tail-end to replace the brake light. Plus I read several places to be VERY CAREFUL at one point 'cause that area broke easily. Which was why (besides no tools) it was totally worth their price. If they'd broken said part they'd have to replace it.
My Focus had a random amber light in the headlight assemblage go out. Wasn't the signal, not sure what it's for. Except excessive mech aggravation. #One started--couldn't get in there. #Two joined him, and they removed the entire thing. #Three joined while they still couldn't get to the nmad bulb, and got the longest needle nose pliers I've ever seen. Meanwhile boss offered suggestions while talking with me and "supervised" his minions. Always good to be the one whose name is on the business.
On the flip side--the old Taury-wagon, Ford stuck the speed sensor very convenient to get to. It was right next to the muffler. Never mind it was encased in asbestos, the heat would bake the coating which would harden then flake off with every little road bump until the sensor itself baked and fried and needed replacing...AGAIN! I saw the underside of that car, there was a WHOLE lot of real estate where they could've put a ton of speed sensors. Oh no, instead they stuck it right next to the heat producer. Planned future repair. Plus the added bonus of knowing I left a little trail of death everywhere I drove, once the asbestos starting dropping.
So--how many mechanics DOES it take to change a Ford bulb? Four--one to supervise, three to get mad.
