My pickup needed a starter and I didn't feel like messing with it myself, so I took it to the same NAPA shop that worked on our Chrysler T&C a couple of days ago. I think the starter did it's last gasp when I got it to start to go to the shop, and they didn't shut it off till they had it on a hoist. In the scheme of things, the boss himself wound up replacing the starter.
When we picked up the pickup, I paid the bill and went to leave. When I started the pickup a big yellow "Check Engine Oil Level" light flashed. I knew what had happened. On that pickup, there's an engine oil level sensor in the side of the oil pan next to the starter, and you have to remove the plug from the sensor to drop the starter. When I went back in, the boss was off on an errand somewhere and I talked to his son. The son knew right away, too, what had happened and ran the pickup back onto a hoist, raised it up, and plugged the sensor back in.
Before he did, though, he got out his cell phone and took a picture of the unplugged sensor. He said, "I'm going to email it to my old man and give him a hard time".
You gotta have a little fun, sometimes.
