    Wow - last week, horns, this week, I pulled out the car for the ritual Friday drive to work and my ABS and Brake lights were on, no brake pedal pressure and, oddly enough, climate control/clock has no power at all - coincidence?

    I checked fuses in the 3 spots I know of and all are OK - any clue's before it hits the flatbed?

    Thanks again!

    You know about the "hidden" fuses under the right rear corner of the trunk liner, correct?

    No, no fluid, but I was poking around the trunk and left the ignition switch on, suddenly the black pump next to the power shut off switched on for a minute. I started it up, but still not enough pressure....so, I gave up and did this....even looks great on a flatbed!

    Shop was closed - they opened it up for me to get the car in - will find out this week what the problem is and post it.

    Thanks again guys!

    For me a couple of times per year my trip ends the same way. I am happy to see that I am not the only one :)

    P.S.
    I love the rims (what type are they)

    Have been away all week, so will find out if my mechanic has even looked at the car yet - should have an update this weekend of some kind.

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    Problem was the green brake pump switch. The climate control was a coincidence - happened at same time - wiring issue. They think it is a bad ground. Had the important things done first, so now that it is finally unbelievably hot, having the climate control looked at.

    I read a nice little tid-bit in the 348 community forum about what to try first if the climate control system has gone "off-line". That thread said to unplug the battery for roughly 10 seconds, hook the battery back up and go through the normal start sequence. If the CCS does not come back on-line you have fuse or wiring problems. Back in January I tried this on my 348 and my CCS came back to life and I haven't had an issue with it since. So bad ground could be the issue.

    In case anyone is wondering, I think the ground for the climate control system is a lug behind the right hand dash vent.
