Engine light, Engine Fault warnings, multiple systems no longer working. Took three trips to dealership and nearly a month total in shop to get the problem fixed. Wiring harness replaced, vehicle reprogrammed, another wiring issue solved by a splice.

I’m glad to hear you apparently got it solved but what exactly do you want? Are you sharing for the benefit of other owners? Do you want to know what was wrong? Why it happened? Please clarify.
