They are bad for cold solder joints.. That might be why..



Still recommend you change fluid though if you don't know when the last time it was done.

It was changed about two years ago when I swapped the motor out. so it should be fine, I have to find the damn computer first! Knowing my luck it is righ above the alarm brain, which means dash removal time!!!!!!!
