question: does the thickness of the replacement wiring matter?
there was no insulation left by the time i got the original wiring harness open. so i could not tell. I used 18 gauge wire for the bigger 2 wires and the rest were 20 gauge. I have read somewhere that in this specific application the wire thickness could have an effect, and that 2 or three wires should be 22 gauge. not sure about this, and not sure which ones....

This thing was working great before rewiring. this has to be a wiring issue....


any help is highly appreciated.......

Since the 20 gauge wires were larger than the 22 gauge that were recommended I would expect no problems.. If you went with smaller wires, higher gauge.. then, perhaps, added resistance might be a problem...

Thanks for the info. that is really helpful.

At this point, i am trying to make sure the wiring the job i did is ok (i.e pins correspond to the correct locations on the board)...other than that, there is no other reason (at least in my opinion) for this to go bad. it was working perfectly before the rewire, and i was extremely careful not to mishandle it, shake it, drop it...etc...

hopefully i will not have to get another one since i am selling this car by the end of this month.....

any ideas? anyone have the pin/wiring diagram?

thanks
