patrickt You did it the hard way. Warranty time pays 1.2 hours, Chilton pays about 2.0. You did it without pulling the steering wheel?? That's a B!t$h to do. the worst thing is you are lucky and didn't break the horn pin. Garage mechanics break them about 50% of the time and the horn just keeps on blowing.
There is a special socket, cost about $35.00 from Snap-on that makes this simple to do. Gald you fixed it and everything is working ok. Any time you want to give up sitting behind that deck and get some STEEL in your hand, GM is looking for a few good techs that are a little crazy.
By the way Delphi is not making parts in the US any more thanks to people who are tired of too many safety laws, unions, and people without PRIDE in there work. They closed the battery plant here in New Brunswick 3 years ago and put over 200 people out of work. You know thw worst part, the union guys got transfered to another plant, the workers got the shaft. They went out on strike about 6-7 years ago, playing hard ball with GM. When the contract was up in 3 years so was there jobs. Union worked well for them. IT's great to see all the jobs are going to Mexico, Tiawan, China, and Korea. The union is finished in the USA and time will show it in the future with more plants and places closing because of people following unions like sheep and not thinking for themselves. Yes I have worked for the union, and having a choice wouldn't want to work for another one. Find a good company, work hard, do the right things, not make waves, and you are set for life. I am back with a company that I worked for 4 years ago. The only reason I left was the $4.30 per gallon of gas, got a job 2.1 miles from the house and could ride the bicycle to work. At that time it was a good idea. Today only 3 dealerships I have worked for are still open, the rest are going bye-bye in the next 6 months. Again there will be a fight to have a job. 2 guys in my shop are on the way out the door and don't even know it. GM doesn't care about butt kissing any more, Game,Set and Closed doors. All the auto companies are going to have big changes over the next year. Rick L.
