My Jeep's headlights shut off yesterday night. Luckily, as mentioned in the previous post, my brother Tyler came to my rescue and escorted me home. Expecting an expensive repair, Kevin and I were a little discouraged about it. We bought this car only seven months ago and already we've put 1.5K+ into repairs.
The next morning, right before I was reluctantly on my way to the auto shop, my Dad asked if he could take a look at it. After a little time fiddling around, researching about Jeep fuses, and investigating the problem, he had a rookie diagnosis. Less than an hour later--after a quick trip to O'Rielly's, $25 for parts, and replacing a bulb and fuse--everything was back to good condition and running efficiently.
Today I'm grateful for the Boren family mantra, "Fiddle til it's Fixed," and for my father and grandfather who save me and many others a hefty hunk of pocket change by teaching themselves useful skills, while having the confidence to give repairs a try (within reason).
