    The Volvo I drove for the past 3 months did the exact same thing, but not always, only when it wanted to. Very annoying.

    It depends on what I am doing. If I am backing in to a parking spot and I am GOAL'g, I leave them on.

    Ya ready for this #### show @supersnackbar? I need someone to come do these cans so I don’t have to strangle my escort. Not this guy, he’s awesome. We use local escorts to get us pas the surface streets in Newark. Then use a different high pole for the over the road portion of the trip. That escort never showed up at 540 am today, his boss had to call the hotel around 7 am to do a welfare check. I thought the guy died, nope his cell phone was set to silent and he was sound asleep. So now we wait until after curfew to leave, 2 and a half hours late. 8D4C9E4B-C2DA-43FD-8CF6-244765FC0F90.jpeg

    Just to the right of that wonderful puddle sat my old truck for months, I’m all too familiar with that place, ownership of the company I work for, and that dealer network is one in the same, so that, and the other locations is where I get all my work done.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I had a much better experience this visit than I did last time. Had wiper motor replaced, the front axle lock sensor replaced, the axle lock switch replaced and the sensor responsible for the DEF issue replaced(hopefully)...the only gripe is I needed another key...$20 for the blank, and they don't cut keys, you have to take it to someone else to get it duplicated.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I had to have a spare cut as well for the Volvo I was in, the farm store in lake butler was able to do it, I guess because the thickness of that blank, not all key cutter machines can handle it? That’s what Napa in Butler told me, and they were the ones who have always made my spares for the mack.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I had our local Ace do it. They were worried that it was a chip key, but Volvo assured me it wasn't and everything worked when I got it to the house. I feel better having 2 keys. When they picked this truck up at the Wichita yard there was only 1 key and the key fob. I was always worried that I would lose the key and be stuck until the shop got one sent to me and the shop only had 1 and wouldn't share.
