My mechanic is replacing battery and says he also needs to reset the computer, otherwise the ABS, power steering won't work. I said this doesn't make sense, I can reset the computer he said he needs to attach something to it to reset. I just got ripped off, didn't I? It's a Honda Accord.

Probably. It's probably pushing a button or something.

I’m playing pool with a very experienced automotive tech tonight. I’ll find out!

Having said that though, I’ve replaced dozens of batteries over the years and have never heard of anything like that.

I just talked to my buddy who is a senior tech at Audi.  He called a buddy who is a senior tech at Honda.

The Honda guy says, bullshit, your mechanic is a thief, and that you should do everything in your power to expose him as such!

Yup.

What does the invoice say? Does it say "reset computer" or does it say something about registering the battery, which is a real thing

The only thing I ever did on battery changes on 2 accords was to enter the radio code so it would work again. Anti theft stuff

I very seldom fail to find the answer for something like that if I google it.

Normally I find a video that steps me through it.

I just replaced the power window actuator in our Escalade and the water level indicator in our washer.  A similar thing was when I disconnected the rear air shocks on the Escalade, to find out how to disable the warning.  I did that on our old Yukon, too.

I just google stuff, google-search the parts, and fix what's broken.  The answer to just about everything is a click away.

I do know that with the newer cars, most automotive shops will scan the computer and save the settings when replacing batteries because there is a chance that the computer can take a hit and your electronically controlled engine components can suffer. I have heard of trucks replacing the batteries and their throttle body sensors going haywire, abs going haywire, etc...  Not sure on the costs though

You have one 12v /cigarette lighter in that car that stays hot even with car off. They make a little device that plugs in into the cig lighter that Power supply then u put a 9 volt batter on the other end of the plug/cable and that keeps all computers radio and etc memory in the car . I have been in the business 44 years now. Good luck

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
