Re: Re. Sender Unit hard to repair

[dherv10@xxxx]

James, Now that the cat is out of the bag about sending units. I 
repaired my sending unit about a year ago and it's still working 
fine. The main problem in the one I had was moisture sitting in the 
bottom of the unit an no where to go. It corroded the contacts and 
one wire came loose due to the corrosion. After cleaning three 
contact points and a little soldering and a modification it's been 
working fine. So for about a year. Another car I have doesn't have 
the screw in the bottom of the sending unit and hasn't given a 
problem. They are fixable, just how long it will last, nobody knows, 
but it was a lot cheaper than the alternatives. Will put the inside 
on the web site soon and the contact points to look for and the 
modification.Yes, If anyone want me to look at theirs, the email me.
