  • diagnostic testings

    what exactly is a diagnostic test, and how much do they normally cost?

    the reason im asking, is because i had a fuse blow (ip dimmer, 5 amp), and if i replace it, it just blows again, so there is a short somewhere and the place i take my car too says there will be a $70 charge JUST to run the testing..

    anybody know anything that could help me? thanks in advance..

    They are probaly charging you for one hour of labor, 70 bucks is cheap. Around here shops charge about 95 an hour and the dealerships are about 110 an hour.

      no its a diagnostics test, they "have to run it because its an electrical problem" and thats the only way to find the problem.

      any ideas on how i could fix it myself, or find the problem? cmon you guys are smart lol

        I know, they are charging you an hour labor to run the test. 70 bucks is cheap anymore.

          Have you messed around with any of the wiring lately..like install a new stereo or something? If you did, double check the wires to see if any are pinched behind the headunit.

              I can't see why led's would do it, they should draw less power. Hmmmm...

                  Maybe you could try taking it to Autozone and have them run a free scan on it. Not sure though what all they scan but its worth a try.

                      autozone can only scan stuff when the ses light is on, I worked their before and I have the same tool they use.
