Fuel pump relay....Fuel pump is working fine when connected directly to power, but not so with the relay in the circuit. No other issues according to the tech. Whew!!!!

Oh..and..new oem battery from dealer is about 200 or so. AND he said if I bring in an Optima they would be glad to install it. Pretty good deal. Now I just have to find one in stock somewhere by noon tomorrow AND get it to him to install. Drive home, get some actual work done for a change, get a ride back, drive it home! lol. No problem.

I'd like to know how they can install it without some sort of adapter plate which you'll need.

They can't. And I can't find one in stock in kc anyway. So I'm off to Sears for a diehard. Much better than an oem I think. And a lot less expensive too.
