It involves my three-quarter-ton pickup and a service technician who fixed it.<\/p>\n<p>My story began Wednesday morning. I was driving home from a meeting in McKinney. The rain was pouring. I was traveling north along the frontage road next to U.S. Highway 75 when I drove the truck through some standing water, which splashed over the hood the truck.<\/p>\n<p>I continued on. About a minute later, the &#8220;check engine&#8221; light lit up on my dashboard control panel.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. What&#8217;s that about?\u00a0The light stayed on as I made my way home to Princeton.<\/p>\n<p>We awoke this morning. My wife and I drove the truck to the gym where we work out daily. The light was still on. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to take the truck in this morning to have it looked at,&#8221; I told her.<\/p>\n<p>So I did. I drove to the Dodge-Jeep dealership in McKinney where I get the truck serviced. The service advisor met me in the service drive. I told him what I had. He summoned the service tech from the garage. The tech said he would reset a sensor he suspected had gotten wet.<\/p>\n<p>He took the truck to the back. He reset the sensor. He returned the truck <em>about five minutes later.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re good to go,&#8221; he said. The sensor got cranky and lit up when it got soaked by the rain water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is there a charge for this?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;Nope,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Just let me know if it acts up again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Life is good.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=Dodgedealership%20%23heavyrain&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel compelled to share this bit of good news that fell on me this morning.
