This morning when I went out to check on our front end oil leak, it was back. I called the people who did the brakes and they were not at all interested in our problem. They did give me a name of shop in southern Cal. This shop could not look at the coach for 4 weeks, however they gave me the name and number of a shop in Hesperia, Ca (right next to Victorville, Ca). Range RV said he could at least look at the coach on Friday and there is a empty lot across the street from them where we could spend the night. We headed out on the 47 miles to Hesperia, Ca and Range RV (I really really like my GPS).
When we got to Hesperia we pulled into the empty lot and I went across the street to see Brian at Range RV to let him know we were there and be in his shop in a matter of minutes. I went back to the coach to unhook the pickup, I pickup’s transmission would not re-engage. So we where off the Victorville Ford dealership. Ford spent a lot of time trying to get a trouble code out of the transmission. They finally got the transmission engaged however now the system is working so no trouble codes. They would not take any payment for the time they had spent working on the truck. I went through the steps to disengage the transmission, the light on the Neutral Tow switch blink as it did it’s test procedure, the transmission dis-engaged and then went out, it is supposed to stay on. At this point the tech’s at the dealership hooked up another computer and got a test code for “Neutral Safety Switch” in the transmission. Again they would not take any payment for the time they had spent. Larry the service writing said at this point they could not look at the pickup until next week and any dealership I went to would change me for trouble shooting because they are not going to believe the last dealership. It is really to bad that one dealership can not talk to another and believe each other. Oh well, we can now tow the pickup to Goodyear and see about getting it fixed.
We drove back to Range RV, unhooked the pickup and settled in for a couple of days.
