This resulted in my key not opening / unlocking my car consistently like the battery was dying, and ultimately my car not starting one morning out of the blue.
I had to flatbed it to the local dealer and they found out what the problem was and that was it. Thanks god that they were cool about re-flashing it to stock ( and warrantied it ) because I coulda been stuck with that bill...
That said, now that it's fixed, I want an ESS done....  |
Working on DME's is not an easy thing and should not be taken lightly. I have seen DME's trashed due to small mistakes by people not knowing what they are doing. I know a local tuner that had to buy a customer a new DME they hacked it up so bad. This is also a reason that its best to work with someone who has a very solid reputation and has done hundreds of them.
