Why owners should leave the hood closed, or at least read the manual.
Or even better, pay attention to what is printed on things.
 Service call for a no start after he was messing with fuses under the hood. Quick testing at the starter relay with a small test light across the load side, light lights up. Jumper the load side and it cranks.  Test light across the control side does nothing in crank position.  It is then that I notice the check engine light is not working, and the fuel gauge does not go up with the key ON. For shits and giggles I put a scantool on it and it communicates with most modules, but not the PCM. The PCM is dead, so I go through all the fuses and they are good. THEN the owner tells me he had to loosen some screws to remove the fusebox cover.  The three screws he removed, or tried to because they are captive, secure the connectors under the fusebox.  Tighten three screws and the car starts.  The cover is clearly marked "LIFT HERE". $80.00 service call please. 
If someone took the time to help you, the least you can do is take a few seconds and press two buttons!

LOl - I just helped a lady with here headlight. She took the whole front bumper off, unscrewed the headlight fixture and was lost. Toyota Camry recent year. YEAH.. Replaced a handful of clips. Put the whole thing back together, then showed her how to reach in and twist, the 10sec version. Did it for free for the humor of the whole situation.

Maybe before her actual car she drove a Mercedes A class. Those are the steps needed to replace a bulb on those idiotic cars.

RE: Why owners should leave the hood closed, or at least read the manual.
reminds me a while back had customer ring me to say hed replaced the battery on his car and it wouldn't start,
not to worry coming out as he had rang his breakdown company up and they were recovering to me. car arrived and was unloaded , recovery man went to toilet. imagine his surprise when he came out and car was running , helped him load it up after I showed him the 2 plastic battery post covers that the customer had forced his terminals over when asked customer said he thought they were to keep them clean always makes me laugh |
