the EA showing "3" directly points to the ETA (as I called it; normally called TA).

The wiring harness could give you the same problems but you have changed it so it surely looks like it's the ETA.

A used ETA that comes from a LOW MILEAGE car would be ok, I would think but how do you know what that mileage was??? 80K miles would not be considered low for an ETA in MHO. So you are probably much safer to buy a new one. That's what I did.

If you do it yourself, please watch out for the "spring"!!! It's such a trivial part of the job but if it "slips out", it's a bugger to get back in. At least for me it was!
