DIY Brake Repair Meets Modern Cars: Electronic Parking Brakes, Scan Tools, Ford Ranger Lights & Dodge 600 Questions Today on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, Ron opens the hour with a real-world shop story that says everything about where auto repair is headed: what should have been a simple late-model Chevy brake job turned into a scan tool, software update, and electronic parking brake battle just to put the car in service mode. It’s a sharp look at why modern brake repair, DIY car maintenance, and even basic shop work now depend as much on software and subscriptions as wrenches and know-how. Ron also takes calls on manual transmission fluid choices for a 2003 GMC Sierra, intermittent headlight failure and cruise control issues on a 1994 Ford Ranger, spark plug and maintenance advice for a low-mile 1986 Dodge 600 convertible, and a step-by-step discussion on how to bleed brake fluid properly.
