That isnt' a silly question. I should have specified. It is at the dealership now awaiting the replacement part. I just want to know why it might have broke, if this is a widespread issue, and what the implications might be of replacing it. I don't like that people are tearing into wires behind my dash. I have many years experience with electronics and that is never a good thing. I just want to be prepared for when I speak with the technician on the day I pick it up.
Thanks,
Brian
