Thanks a lot man... you definitely pointed me to the right direction...then from there...it was downhill or should I say upwards? I'd already confined myself to go to the repair shop in an hour and pay diagnosis, labor plus spend at least $150 plus for a new one(thats the cheapest of the 3 types), then I figured, duh! I could do this! So I pulled my voltmeter and did the simple test people say should be done and expected to get about 15volts at the terminus given that 13-14.5 is normal. Instead the digital controls shot up at a whopping 19.0- 19.7 volts! I kid you not! This thing was so warped, I only drove down the driveway to try and pry it out and get the right part no. I shall try and replace it and update you guys. I like the support of brickboard...can't beat that!
later all!
