Can't believe you are going thru that !!!
Do some search for my member number..
I just changed a cut vaccum hose that was probably the reasin my car was pinging... (i hope.. i am still testing it).
during the hose fixing I had to disconnect the battery (to unplug sensors) and now my AC and my Clock are not working...
Geez... I fix something and something else happens...
anyway... if you go to "Zetec" you see that I was also complaining about the price of the vaccum hose.. Ford dealer wanted $98 for it !!!
I just "fixed" it myself...
It wasn't burned though... it had a cut....
