Maybe it is time to head in and have someone use the MBZ scanner to do its magic! Dang, it feel like the end is so close, some stupid thing I have overlooked, a crossed wire, that sticky WOT switch, the cable adjustments.....

Just giving you a little poke in the right direction.

My only comment is that resetting the S/A to 'nominal' won't make any differnce in the driving as far as what you are experiencing. As you described, those are 'real' ETA problems. Now the source could be the wiring harness, or possibly that the ETA isn't really fixed?? Hard to say.

You could have it 'checked' by Beckmann or somebody who is qualified to check it out. If it's bad, they can certainly can repair it. If it's OK, then that may point you in a new direction.

It's a tough problem and a big PITA!!!
