	Same symptoms every time. Errant "over heat" errors from the trip computer, low
boost, etc..  I have created "drainage" for the connector, or it was created for
me, in the form of the little rubber bootie is completely gone now.  Might that
factor into the short life span?

	The last 2 I have installed have been the 3-pin variety.  I wonder if that also
might play into the short life?

	Thanks for the info.
