Barry,

I ran into a similar situation on a prior motor coach. In that case the way the turning of the wheel was handled was with two slip rings and brushes. One day one of the brushes no longer made contact with the ring and all kinds of bad things happened and would not work! It's pretty neat how all that informaion is multiplexed over just the two wires and quickly enough that you don't notice any delay when you initiate a function. I just came back from the Ford garage recently as my F150 had to go in for the "clock spring" recall. Seems it was rubbing and could fail disabling the air bag. Glad you got yours going again even at a premium price. Later, Russ
