Also I sliced the ETA cable right next to the connector and like you thought they are all cracked. I attached a picture that I took with my phone so it is not that clear. There are many fine cracks that are not visible in the picture.

So this means that the ETA needs to be changed but how can I be sure that the EA is dead? I mean if the EA is good but the ETA is dead wouldn't the simptoms I have be the same?
Lots of cracks. . . closer to the main unit it would be even worse, at least if it follows what I and others have seen. The heat up on the top of the fender wall is not as great as it is were the cable mounts into the ETA body.

Keep that $450 EA from the junk yard 'close'. . .
