What commonly causes it to fail? Any ideas? Fuse? Solenoid? I think it's the solenoid, and it's a very common failure. Mine's been out for a couple of years, and I've just not squeezed out the money to fix it. Function before fashion.

This isn't my primary message board (that sounds so pathetic doesn't it), so I usually just skim over everything rather quickly... Anyhow, thanks for the link phil. -Jason 98 C-SVT
