Actually SEIC is there to be had in the 03s.... poorly documented, I might add, but there none-the-less. If you actually worked on these units, you should have been able to spot the harness and think "hmmm, what have we here????".
You're kind of a fun little guy to play with and I'm sure that, if they ever do let you off the lube rack, you'll make a decent general tech... providing that you realize that real world experience and logical thought process outweigh anything you read (especially anything you read on the internet) and that you cannot cut an paste repairs. Keep your nose clean and they might even let you have your own access code into OASIS.
hurc.... if you CAN go to the Canadian PTS website (sorry folks, it's a Ford only thing), you'll see my name on the Senior Honour Roll..... proof enough for you. However, I have no way of knowing if you can even access PTS, let alone have any "papered" qualifications (other than a nasty mouth and attitude you can't control). Next month I attend school for the course that will move my status to Master. In the grand scheme of things, it is just another piece of paper.... in the real world, I can interact, face to face, with other techs and share in their experience and gain from what the instructors have learned on their annual sabbaticals.
I love what I do and I feel I must do it well since I have a loyal customer following.... like a doctor, I feel bound to explain what I find and what I feel should be the next step.... we must remember that, for many, the automobile is the biggest investment of funds that they will make in their lives. We must treat our customer with respect and, while we are charged with many decisions on how their money gets spent, we must treat that money as if it were our own and avoid foolish or needless actions.
This must be my extended 15 minutes of fame since you feel threatened enough by my presence to repeatedly throw my name into subject lines and you feel threatened enough to repeatedly grasp at straws. Keep it up and there is the chance that the "right" person will have seen my name so many times that I could land some "dream" job
