Yeah I've messed with fuses pleanty but never seen one with a casing around certain fuses. I will have to mess with it a little

 

Light flashed one time and hasnt been back since.

 

I was sitting here and thought let me go look at those fuses one more time. I went out and looked at that fuse with the black on it. Trying taking it out and it just didnt want to go. I've been trying to be gentle because I dont want to break anything. So finally I did what I always do and got pissed and yanked it real hard it came rite out. Then poped it out of that black housing with a screw driver and the fuse is blown. I dont have any 10 amps fuses so it looks like I'm goign to the autp parts in the AM. Hopefully this does it guys

 

Doing a flush on a transmission that has not had it done on a regular basis is a bad plan, for the previously mentioned reasons. All that crap that is sticking to things gets circulated thru the trans, and breaks things all on its own. I have seen many, many, many transmissions fail within 50 miles of having the flush done. When I worked at the dealership, we STOPPED offering that service, simply because of that. When people requested the service anyway, they were warned, up front, that doing so may cause trans failure, and we would NOT be responsible if their trans took a dump. I have dealt with many an Irate customer, that didn't listen to us, did it anyway, and then pissed, bitched and moaned about "how we killed their transmission". It would then be pointed out, that we warned them, in writing, and isn't that their signature right there?

I would also question the validity of anything the techs at jiffy lube had to say about the condition of my vehicle...... they make money be selling you services, whether you need them or not. These guys are NOT trained mechanics. Most of them don't have a clue about some of the things they are doing/recommending in any event. I pay folks of that nature to change my oil, but, that's it. Taking 'advice' from them is a sure way to screw up your vehicle.

 

maybe I misunderstood the OP, but about the 'new to him' truck:

You need an inspection? and you have a CEL?

I don't know about other states, but I know that in NC and SC, it is illegal for a DEALER (either new or used) to sell a vehicle without a current inspection, and that means NO CEL.. I think I'd go back and talk to that dealer fella..

 

That fuse will fix both. A tip to dealing with fuses for you, check them all so it doesnt keep you wondering later.

Reason: some electrical systems piggy back on other fuses.
Example: My wiper fuse effected my door chime and open door lights in my dakota when it was blown.

 

. The cel was not on when I test drove it. It is also not on now. After I bought the truck in NJ from a dealer and was drivng back to MD and going over a bridge in DE it flashed on and off as few times. It never stayed on just flashed. It hasn't been on since. NJ only required emission and it passed that. Legally they are good on there end

 

sweet... just wanted to add that is all.. yeah man, if you listen to the dudes in this thread they won't steer you wrong...

 

Find a scanner and check for stored codes. Any auto parts store can scan your truck

 

The truck set off a code and the CEL came on and blinked your truck will store that CEL for 50 cycles regardless if it never triggers again, its always nice to know what caused it, somtimes you can blow it off other times it might be worth looking into
