    what's the TSB do? they actually redesign the part, or are they just putting in a new one of the old design?

    It not being sealed, leads to corrosion in the terminals I guess

    so they're getting you a new one......are they going to seal this one, or just toss it on and call it a day until it goes out again?

    if that's the case, dennis, as soon as they put it on, go home, take iot off, and seal it upo yourself. lil bit of silicone goes a long way in regards to longevity.

    i don't think it's a year speciffic issue, but just luck of the draw. i've had mine fully submerged a good number of times, and (knock on wood), it's still working like a champ.

    i'd ask them to solder the terminals and load that thing up with dielectric grease before it goes on. a bead of silicone around that gasket would be nice too.
