Hi
I would check the cap and make sure a wire is not arcing out on something.
what is the weather like when your having issues. ? Wet? Dry? Could also be a loose connectore or a bad elec connection. If intermit it could be anything. I
may have a AFM with the cap Fix for syndrome on the shelf if you want to play with it. It was not a fix for me I had a internally broken wire on a temp to
sensor. But that was a different issue all together.
