Mark my words. Pretty soon they'll be using India for OnStar support operators.

Now for the rest of the story....

So, the other night I swapped out the plastic steering wheel for the leather Lux version. I pulled the SIR and HORN fuse before starting. I put the new wheel on and replaced the fuses. I noticed that the Onstar light was on (what I didn't notice was the airbag light was on, too. For the next several days I rode my old school Yeti everywhere since the weather finally got nice. Tonight, I finally got a chance to take a look a the H3.... When I was buttoning up the leather wheel swap, a friend of mine stopped by with some parts and a couple six packs. We did some work on his Defender in the driveway, had a few beers, and I remembered I hadn't put the fuses back in from the wheel swap. So, I did so on my way in for the night. Turns out I put the SIR fuse in the wrong open fuse slot (the slot I put it into was marked Spare-4). I just pulled the fuse and put it in the correct slot. And, what do you know - my Onstar is working and the airbag light is off. Hopefully I'll put my new torsion bars in the correct holes this weekend... no beers until afterwards. Let the flaming begin!!

By the way, the leather wheel was worth the 150. It is not as "thick" as the plastic wheel, and feels nicer in my hands (girlfriend just said not to say "feels nicer in my hands" on the Elcova forum, for fear of reprisal). LOL.

I know when it's something so simple it can be humbling but it's still a nice feeling knowing you did no major damage. When I was installing my marker lights and light bar I had just finished everything, put all the parts back and closed the hood, hopped in the cab and cranked the key....DEAD!!! After 2 hours of pulling everything apart and inspecting the wiring over and over and Just when I thought it was going to be time to call the tow truck and cough up some major bucks for the dealer to tell me i'm a moron that blew out something major I realized that when I put the fuse box back together I did not seat the top portion with the lower part
