Just wanted to close the loop on this one. In fact, you guys were right on target. Yes, the new part was defective. I replaced it (again) and it's been working perfectly. Oh, and you were right about the dealer refusing to take back the brand new part that worked for 10 minutes and then fizzled out. They said they don't take back electrical parts. I told them I'd gladly pay for the new, new one and if it worked that should be proof that the old, new one was bad - but noooo. Anyway, even though I had to pay and replace the part twice, I really am grateful for your help. I probably would have just given up after the first time if you hadn't encouraged me to try again. You guys are great - thanks again.
