agreed, you never take your car to ANY dealer to have work done, unless its under warrenty. The most I ever took my contour to the ford dealer for was an oil change when it was below zero outside, I didnt want to deal with doing it myself.. Plus I got a good motorcraft Synblend with motorcraft filter and a 32 point inspection for $19.99 So I consider that worth it... Otherwise I wouldnt ever take my car to a dealer for any out of the ordinary maitenence. I had a friend with a 2000 mustang Convertable with the 3.8L and a 5 speed, it was making a wirring noise in 1st and 2nd gear... He took it in and they told him he needed a new clutch at 60K miles... He told them to do it, paid a grand got a new clutch, they said it was fixed, but the sound was still clear as day... took it back to them and they charged him again to find the problem (with a MINOR discount, of corse).... They said they had fixed it, drove it, nothing different, out another couple hundred bucks, took it back a 3rd time and they finally figured it out, turned out one of the bearings in the trannie had worn out... Dont remember which one it was... But like I said, Ive heard a lot of horror stories about dealer repairs, take it to a good family owned shop, besides you get the best deals then, and they dont take their sweet ass time.

Yes until it is fixed... 
Fix it then so we don't have to listen to your yapping.
I'm trying my hardest, I really am.
Did you try swapping batteries like i said? I don't care if your battery "tests" fine. Seriously, if not, we are switchin it with someones at this meet.

Seeing that this has turned into a batter light, alt, wiring harness, cracked wire, etc post I'd like to let you know Steeda theres an XR for sale in the area of Crocker and Jefferson! Its red w/bi-wing and I believe its an 88' or 89' because of the rims. I'm going to go and check it out tomorrow, who knows, I may be able to sell the Regal and buy it myself, but either way I'll let you know, it looks pretty nice  The "climate" looks good for Sunday, thank God  DO NOT USE THE "W" WORD
