Worked this weekend to replace the front left wheel speed sensor to get rid of the amigos.

After splicing into an existing long wire sensor lead to the ecu the PO put in, my amigos are gone for now.

What started out to be a simple project was made complicated by a lug nut being rounded off and the others torqued on there so hard my Snap On 1/2 impact couldnt reverse it.. had to almost stand on a 1/2” breaker bar.

Stupid PO.

Hammered on a bigger impact socket onto the rounded off lug and broke it loose thank god.

Then the rotor wasn’t placed on correctly so the screw wasn’t lined up with the hole. Banged that off with a dead blow

factory connector for the abs sensor wasn’t working so I had to make a splice into the other long lead abs wire going back to the ecu. Should have started off that way.

Cleared the amigo codes then drove it. Also cleared three other codes that were historic. (Right Rear outlet valve and shuttle valve) looks like a newer shuttle valve piece on the module.

The lights came back on once but went back off. Cycling old programming maybe? Drove it more and they never came back on. Fingers crossed.

Tested the TC and Hill descent. Ready for winter I hope.

Had my very own version of “Planes Trains & Automobiles” over the weekend! I did a last minute surprise trip to the PNW to visit my family before the holidays.

Flight up with Alaska Airlines was fine minus the man next to me with bad BO & who removed his shoes during the flight (just like in the movie). Visited with my mom, brother, sister in law, and their little girl.

Then it came time to check in with Frontier Airlines...... It took forever, but I finally had my e-ticket/boarding pass. Then 6hr before the flight home they changed the plane & I was automatically bumped off.... Well good old Frontier’s next flight was a 12:55am arriving in Denver, CO at 5:00am & then I didn’t fly out until 9:00pm and I didn’t get into Houston until 12:30am... that was totally unacceptable!! I had to call in and use a sick day due to no more flights out on Sunday with Frontier. Then I said F this tried to get a refund & had to have WWIII just to get my $$$ back. My wife found the only other flight out thru American and it wasn’t booked yet. However it was double the cost of Frontier... so more $$$ out the window! Well American was awesome with two good flights with no issues at all.

I then get dropped off at the 20 acre parking lot (once again just like the movie), and my 99 D2 will not unlock via the remote which is odd. Red light was flashing normally so I tried the door key, and oh it apparently decided to be totally seized up... Lot staff was ZERO help, so after an hour and a half in the misty rain I said F this to myself and I was going to just bust out a window (plenty of spares at home). I banged on the glass several times, alarm goes off, I quickly press unlock on the remote & bingo I’m in and it starts right up!!!!!

Only thing I think of is the alarm was triggered while I was gone (however the LED was flashing normal) or my computer went to sleep and flatlined lol & needed the alarm to be triggered to wake back up. Either way my trip home was truly from HELL....

Once I was able to get inside the old gal everything was fine lol. Just frustrating & I didn’t actually lay down until nearly 4:35am vs around 2:30ish.

Safe Travels over the holidays guys & I’d truly avoid Frontier as they seem like a big airline with Cessna 172’s vs Boeing 737’s so 200 people get bumped while 4 get a seat!
