It didn't give me any warning but it happened the same time as my drivers side power window motor failed so I suspect the two failures might be related. There was an up side to this repair, since I bought this car last March there was a constant electrical draw that would kill the battery in 2-3 days. I had it diagnosed to a problem in the instrument cluster that was providing constant power to the light in the odometer which stayed on all the time. With the new cluster the light went out and no more draw. The cost for the new cluster was $1011 CDN dollars. My experience has been because of the complex electrical systems on these cars they are a challenge keeping everything working when they get 10 to 15 years old.
