Van Retrieval
Feb. 23rd, 2024 09:01 pmAfter I got off work this afternoon, we drove to Yerrington (with a stop at Wabuska where we got enough material for an episode of RLMS) and paid the nearly $7,000 for the repairs for the Astro. On the bright side, I'll get a lot more IHG points for this, and I can pay the credit card bill with the liquidated ESOP, the money for which arrived in my account last week.
( Collecting the Minivan )
So all seemed well until we neared home. Lisa was leading our two-car convoy at this point, and we were running our headlights in a daylight safety section. Lisa reported that the left front headlight on the Rolling Stone was out. I said that I could not see her tail lights, although the brake lights were fine.
When we got home, we confirmed that while the minivan's headlights, brake lights, and turn indicators are working, none of the marker lights, fore or aft, are working. She checked the fuse, which appeared to be intact. This is very annoying, as it means we can't legally operate the vehicle at night or in other conditions when we should be running with the lights on.
Lisa and I went over to O'Reilly Auto Parts and got a replacement headlight for the RV, which Lisa installed, so we have at least one vehicle that is road legal.
The dealership said they did not do anything to the lights. Lisa says that she'll get out the Astro's shop manual and see if she can figure out what is wrong and maybe we can fix it ourselves; otherwise, it will be another hundred-mile round trip to Yerrington to see if the dealership can fix it.
