Good to know. Oh believe me, I've been researching and I dread it like the Bubonic Plague. I don't know what my best option is. I've read that soaking them in PB and using a torque wrench to remove it is my best option. Plus, patience.

Now I say "generally" because you really need to check the resistance or physically see it hooked to battery power as D-911 suggested to see if it's truly good. But in my experience 9 times out of 10 if the light is on, the plug is good.

Next time I'm over where the car is at, I'll have to take a look and see what I find out. I knew I should have bought that $7.00 test light when I was just at Sears.
