It usually works perfectly, but gradually getting worse and worse over the past year or so. It'll go 4-5 months, no problems, then a week where it gets stuck on high, on and off during the day. So I unplug the connector to find it was burnt up pretty bad. One wires shielding was actually missing at the base. Resistor was burnt pretty bad too. Anyone else ever see this on theirs? And who do I call to complain about this? BTW, part number for the resistor is no longer YS4Z18591BA. It is now 3M5Z18591BA. It also went up a few bucks from the old price.

The thing is I thought my car already had the recall done to it... maybe not I guess. Can I still have this recall performed? Or do they have some stupid mileage restriction as my car has 127k on it. -Mike 98 Contour SVT Toreador Red #49 of 6535 Built on 3/25/97 WR Headers, Borla Cat-Back, Torsen T2 LSD, K&N Short Ram, S-AFC and Focus Shift Tower 85 Camaro 1969 358ci, 97 TA interior, 91 Z28 GrdEfx and Aero Wing 255rwhp

I don't feel like going, making an appointment with the dealer for 1 week later, have to sit around and wait while some idiot works on my car.
