Check Engine Light
Several weeks ago, my check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer who ran the code and advised me that the problem was in the relay module in the electronics box just next to the battery. Specifically it is in the component closest to the block and it houses 5 fuses: three 15 amp, one 20 amp, and one 40 amp.
This module has something to do with the emisssions system and apparently is intermittent in nature.
I was told that I could elect to do nothing because the light would go off, but would undoubtedly come on again at some point in time. Indeed, that's exactly what happened. He also said that it was O.K. to drive since the code was not related to any internal engine function.
On the other hand, a new module would cost in the neighborhood of $270.
Now my dilemma, what to do? Does anyone reading this forum know of a salvaged vehicle which may have what I need? Or, in the alternative, does anyone know of a parts source which would have the module at a reduced price?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Don
