On the trip to iboats I blew a low beam headlight bulb.<br /><br />No problem. I have changed them before on my other ML. A little tough on the driver side, though because you have to work around the washer tank and can barely see what you are doing.<br /><br />Got a new bulb, popped the hood and removed the bad bulb. Slipped the new one in place and tried to clip the spring that hods it in place. <br /><br />AUGH!! 
The spring popped out and fell on the ground. Spent the next hour trying to reinsert it in the fitting that I couldn't see because of the washer tank. Got plenty of moral support from Mod 1 and Mod 4, but to no avail.<br /><br />The assembly has to come out. Didn't want to do that in the parking lot. Buttoned it up with no low beam bulb. It was getting dark.<br /><br />Started home the next morning with headlights off (I always drive with them on in the daytime).<br /><br />About noon I stopped at a Ford Dealer in Grand Junction, CO. Western Slope Auto Co.<br /><br />Even though it was Saturday, the door to the Service Dept. was open so I drove in and told my tale of woe to Service Advisor Rob McNulty.<br /><br />Rob sprang into action and had my assembly out, spring replaced and assembly back in in about ten minutes. (He had never worked on an ML before).<br /><br />Then he wouldn't charge me anything.<br /><br />That is Rob McNulty of Western Slope Auto Co. in Grand Junction, CO.<br /><br />Many thanks, Rob. You made my day.
