I am surprised you drive a car and not a horse and buggy.

You are talking about a 3D printer printing integrated circuits and chip sets. That a lot more than 5 years out.

Have you ever had a MRI? $2000/hr would be a bargain.

We are talking about a mechanic with a screwdriver replacing a part held on by 6 screws and 2 plugs, not a medical procedure involving a piece of equipment costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Can you see the difference?

Sorry, I'm just an Electrical Engineer with 2 Degrees, guess I don't know the capabilities of a 3D printer-

In another 5 years the C5's that need this module will probably STILL NEED IT. SO, still a silly response.

The C5 I test drove last night has the ABS light on...the guy tells me he has an ABS module coming from ABS fixer but this car is a 98'.....didn't I read somewhere that they can't fix the 98'?

Probably not the unit in the car but a used replacement from ABSfixer.

Hey just for future reference with anyone you may know with the same issue, I did a write up for repairing the issue at ZERO cost to you...that is if you have basic tools and a soldering iron.

Sorry, Doc. At my local hospital, I had one MRI image that they billed me $3750, and I was in and out in less than a half hour. Those machines would be less efficient if they actually printed money. Being self-employed, my insurance coverage is miserable.

I wonder how many degrees these engineers have:

Civil engineers, and probably blamed it on the survey team.

So I take it that it's that particular relay that goes bad in the module ?
