| 2001 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MY AZTEK WHICH HAS 92,000 MILES, SUFFERS FROM WHAT IS SOMETIMES CALLED "THE DISCO AZTEK" MEANING MY BCU WENT OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED THE PW, PL, GAUGE CLUSTER BACK LIGHT, REAR HATCH, AND RADIO TO QUIT WORKING. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY HAZARD BUT IS ANNOYING. IT IS ESTIMATED TO COST AROUND $300 TO FIX. GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE IS A WAY TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE REAR HATCH, IF YOU'VE GOT SOME TOOLS. *TR |
