Hi all, I am currently in the process of creating a diagram and document which will detail this crazy little device, and show the various internal components. My goal is that all of us can open ours up, and diagnose it a bit... and replace some pieces and get it running again. I have gotten some good info from the German lists here, but need of course all the help I can get. If any of you have a defective part for me to dismantle it would certainly help (as you can only really read the numbers on hte transistors and diodes once they are removed). What I would like is the part 251 907 393 D (but also in the meantime would settle for the A, B, or C versions too). I will be glad to pay via PayPal or other means to cover shipping and a bit extra for the effort. You can ship the unit to my USA address and I will have it sent along to me here. Once my diagram is ready, or has some substantial info in it, I will of course post it to the list, and on my website. Thanks in advance for your help!! RSF IMPORTANT!!! In order to reply to me, you must have the word "FISH" somewhere in the subject line of the email. Otherwise it goes directly in the trash. <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ Robert S.

The valve is repairable if it is just sticking. If you do need the valve I have two good used ones. Pmail me for details. If it is the control unit behind the RH tail light. That's another story. I think <A HREF="http://www.vanagain.com/">Van-Again</A> has the best price on these. I'm currently trying to repair some defective ones I have here but no luck so far.
