Yes, I have 19.12 open, but was confused by the factory settings listed being a little different that the new switch. Meanwhile I am running a 2.1 on Digijet & no AC, so not sure if that makes any difference!

I read an old post from Mark Drillock talking about the several different switches that were available 12 years ago & a problem w/ using one that operates at a lower temp thus causing the #7 fuse to overheat & melt the plastic around the fuse holder!
