The ripp off totale that nearly was

The steering on the Jazz got very heavy so took it to my local Honda man who in the past has to his credit been very honest & fair. He says after looking at it for an hour that the power steering unit is faulty and will have to be replaced at a total cost of $4298.57 but he will have to order one in and it could take a while as they don't usually break down. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (long and cognitave) says I but he says it is just going to be a bit heavy to steer but no harm will come if you drive the vehicle untill we can get the parts.......
Ok cut to the home garage, once a proud place where all manner of mechanical apparatus was designed, built and maintained... I remember the days when there was the sounds of industry (that no doubt annoyed the hell out of the neighbours) as steam boats were built and the whistles tested... those were the days... anyway I digress. I thought I'd have a poke around this to see if there was any thing that said "DO NOT OPEN - NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE" so that I could open it and see. To my amazement these wee Jazzes have electric power steering so I just gave up and thought "Ok I'll have to pay". Then for reasons that only someone with PTSD could explain I took the cover off the fuse box and had a look inside, there is a fuse maked "P/steer", naturally it was blown and when I replaced it with another the thing worked as per normal...
May just return tomorrow and tell Mr Honda that I don't need the part...It was an honest mistake, the trained technician had no reason to check the fuse...
