thanks to you jay, and the others for their words of advise, I am going to try that. i also went on line and was surprised to find that for 13.99 you can buy new ones fomr advanced auto parts. they show a listing for 75-80 pacers, and 81 and up concords and eagles, hard to beleive its a common part liek that so thatsz great news for all of us., might be worth it for a spare anyway. and I think its the similar to a ford part too maybe thats why. regards to all, On January 1, 2007 Jay Ciampi wrote: > You can clean the rheostat with TV tuner cleaner and that will help as long > as the wire of the rheostat isn't burned and causing the bad spot. > > Jay ============================================================= Posted by wixList Archiver -- http://www.amxfiles.com/wixlist _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
