problem #2

Sep 242004

Aztek

  • miles
Vehicle has been intermittently losing power completely, and indicating loss of ABS system. Replacing fuses returned the car to the road, but happened at least twice more within the subsequent week. Vehicle was brought to a repair shop who eventually found the problem after 3 days. Part of the wiring harness was routed improperly under the top driver's side flex motor mount. Each time the motor mount would flex under driving conditions, the metal would erode the protective shielding around the harness and the wires themselves. Wires and harness were repaired and re-routed over the mount and secured properly.
