Zippy!! From my perspective it couldn't be any more straight forward of an install, but when nothing happens, I always question me first, before the part. I plugged my original wire back in to test it ... that works fine ... re-hooked up the new cable and again, nothing. Needless to say, I'm sending that cable back (appeared that it may have been used) and hoping it's just a bad cable.

It really is just plug and play right?! I am using the correct part number right?? Or am I supposed to be using #82212001??? Any thoughts where I could have gone wrong or anyone care to confirm that it's just a bad part???

Thanks!!
