Default I Honked My Horn and ...



half of my car quit working! Someone started to pull in front of me in a parking lot and I tapped the horn. I didn't realize what had happened at first and didn't associate the horn honk with it until after I resolved the whole thing.</P>


Over the next couple of days I realized my top, roll bar, windows, mirrors, and some other stuff were no longerworking. When I started the car, I heard frantic beeping from under the passenger seatfor about 20 seconds and the seatbelt warning light on the dash wouldn't go out.What the f***, over?</P>


I wouldn't have been fooled so badly if the thing didn't beep like that and light the seat belt light. The seat belt light? Yeah! The best I could get out of the worthless owner's manual is that one of the seat backs was unlocked.</P>


Well, to shorten this story, it turned out to be a blown 5-centfuse from the horn honking. That made me soooo mad I kicked my neighbor's dog. I wouldn't hurt my own dog. Why light up an unassociated light on the dash and sound an unexplained beeper for a blown fuse? The clues don't lead to the fuse box. </P>


Now, all is well again. Freakin' MB!</P>
