Default Could it be a bulb? F**k the dealership!

I have a 2002 S2000. I have bang the dashboard to make the temp dial to light up. The car is under warranty. The dealership told me it needed a new bulb and didn't have it in stock. That was 2 months ago. Plus, they ripped me off for a brake job when I took it in for state insp. Some bullshit about slight cracking in pads. Then "accidently" threw them out when I wanted to see the old ones. Then took the car for 17 mile joy ride (I guess to try my new brakes out) Do you think the bulb would come on and off for this long, without burning out. Or do you think it has a bad connection. I guess I'll fix it myself to prevent another Honda tech from playing with my car!

Thanks

I noticed today while looking at my service receipt that they note the "In mileage" as well as the "out-mileage". They only added two miles to mine and that was because they took it out for a short drive after doing the alignment.

Man I would be absolutely LIVID if I saw anything more than a few miles added, much less A HUNDRED!!!

I was suprised at how calm i was , but the thing was i had my car in the shop cause i was having a problem with the cars rear suspension and they said there was nothing wrong the next week something went wrong and i ended up in a curb. I went to another dealership and he gave me some attitude and i almost jumped over the counter and beat the guy to the ground just for telling me to calm down but my friend helped me stay non violent and i just smoked and gave up on dealerships being anything close to fair let the insurance deal with it all and everything turned out fine and i never had a problem with the rear suspension again ,but i still wanna burn the original dealership down just for good measure
