How shops work

I can understand the frustration. Recently I had problems with my Jeep Grand Cherokee occasionally refusing to crank. It was not the battery, a fuse or the starter. The current was not getting to the starter when this happened. There were really only two possibilities-the starter relay or the starter switch.

I told them but their computer didn't show a "code". If was working they could not figure out how it might not work. These are good guys and the shop is good but they just couldn't do the logic. I told them to replace the relay ($10 part) and I pay for it even tho it was under warranty. They did and it solved the problem and the warranty did cover it.

Most mechanical problems are solved with sequential logic which is what the computer does within its parameters. But, inductive reasoning is what a good human mechanical mind can do. Shops find very few of those these days.
