VEHICLE CAMPAIGN NOS. 96070 AND 99041 WERE SERVICED IN AUGUST, 2000. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS THE BRAKE FUSE BEGAN TO BLOW EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED MODERATE TO HARD. EASY BRAKE APPLICATION DOES NOT BLOW THE FUSE. THE BRAKES ARE ALL GOOD, FLUID IS FULL, ALL WIRING HAS BEEN INSPECTED FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE, WHEEL SENSORS ARE FUNCTIONING, AND NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE SINCE THE CAMPAIGN WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS UNRELATED TO THE CAMPAIGN, BUT I DISAGREE. MECHANICALLY, EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE AND IN ALL PROBABILITY I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, WHICH WAS MODIFIED DURING THE CAMPAIGN. THE PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST UNTIL RIGHT AFTER THE CAMPAIGN WAS PERFORMED. I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE IT STARTED AFTER THE CAMPAIGN WAS PERFORMED AND IN ALL PROBABILITY AS A RESULT OF IT. COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU. *AK
