Ditto what mowermech said...
But that is the way of it...cheaper than hard wired and they can put in way more 'features' that way...
Just one more thing to fail and now it takes a tech to an engineer to 'ID' the problem and then they just change out parts....VERY EXPENSIVE parts...
Current era boy racers have tough time off the line against my 1996 Big Block Suburban...even though they have more listed HP...double turbo forced fed, etc...Traction Control gets them and they do NOT understand that part of it. Some have tuned TC out, but then their tranny computer kicks in to limit
Ditto my transfer case...it is 'motorized' and computer controlled because too many were bringing their 4x4's back because of their confusion of 'those levers on the floor'. So mine is pushbutton controlled and it takes a tech 4 hours to dial a new setup in. Can't pull one lever and 'feel' the gears mesh, to then home it in without grinding...computer controlled has to have it at a dead stop...else it will slam it in and break gear teeth...
Can't buy a single purpose printer, or copier, or FAX, or scanner anymore...mostly, there are fewer and fewer choices in that regard these days. Countless 'all in one' have had to donated because one of those 'all in one' functions died...
