Why are you freaking out? Since you have " an extended warranty" take it to the dealer they'll fix it asap

Cool Intercooler pump

My 2003 CL55's pump failed after warranty, I followed advise from another thread suggesting the Ford Lightning pump was an Identical replacement, which it was and half the price.
