Thanks Jim, Ijust priced mine with out ASR and the part 000-141-5725 at the dealer is 1800.00 Do you still have the old one?
When I connect 12v to the cable leads I get the motor to work, nothing appears to move, the motor must be moving an internal part. Do you still have your old part? Maybe I can borrow to test.
If teir is a difference, what tool do you used to open the housing?Some type of star with a center hole. I'm trying to make sure this is the problem before I spend 1400~1800 bucks.
It sure sounds that the problem is very similar to what your car was acting like.
