Default Still having the same problem!!!

As some of you guys may remember, i installed the k&n intake, and soon after got a service traction control message, abs, brake, and tract off lights. Well I brought it to the dealer to figure out what the problem was. Of course they blamed it on the new intake. That pissed me off, because I had this problem a year ago, without the intake, but that didnt seem to matter to them. $215 later, they said that damned ground strap thing wasnt screwed on tight enough. I figured that to be b.s. though because I know i screwed that thing in very tightly. So I was stuck paying $215 to screw in a screw!!? 4 DAYS LATER I GET THE SAME PROBLEM (the message and all the lights)!! But they did say that their work is guarranteed, so hopefully this time around I wont have to spend a cent!!! What do u guys think? Any advice/comments are appreciated. By the way, its an 03 ss.

Hi `Jeff,
