Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will do my best to assist you.. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. During this conversation you will be given an automated offer for a phone call. You may accept or decline that offer.I don’t personally offer this service so if you take this another tech may call.
So you have a bunch of problems going on with this vehicle, the main one being the lighting bolt, that is a giant pain to diagnose, you need a master mechanic to do that, the only place that can is the dealer. ans the only person that can do it at the dealer is the master tech, on the flip side of things from what your saying the repairs could be in the thousands and it may be best to cut your losses and just sell the vehicle.
