somewhere i read that instead of paying up to $80 for a replacement thermal switch that you could go to a auto parts store & buy a wells part # sw526 & it would work. mabye it will but you would have to splice your old connector into place to do so. im taking mine back & if i have to, i'll go to the local dealer & pay them to much money for the right one. has anyone used this instead of the factory replacement? are there any other options? thanks.
