It's the AMP

Unless one has been put in in the last 3 years or so, 9 chances out of 10 it is the amp.

cruise amp problem

I soldered mine several times only to have it fail.
You need a big lighted magnifying glass and steady hand, and heat sinks.
I got a rebuilt amp and speedometer.
They have worked perfectly.

brake pad heat shelds?? Shims?

When I changed the pads on my 300d, I put the shims behind the pads back. Are these necessary? They squeal like crazy. If I use the brake greese, do I put it behind the pad or the shims.
