Excellent...let me check mine again per Neils info stating that on
post-'88s the ISV hums only when the engine is running.  I know it isn't
working when the the key is on but the engine isn't running.  I haven't
pulled it and checked it with a 6V battery yet.  It is getting 5V when the
key is on, however.

Most likely it is no longer good, so I'd be interested in yours Jim
