Auto Check System & Trip Computer - Tech Advice Needed

[cobram at juno.com]

You may be able to fix the problem with some contact cleaner and
enhancer.  Caig Labs has some good product, and the best stuff (IMHO) is
Stabilant 22.

I personally have had no luck with the Caig products, they did not work
for me.  Stabilant 22A on the other hand, resolved my cluster problems on
the first application, and the problems have not reoccurred.

Do a search of both "Caig" and "Stabilant 22" in the archives and you
should get plenty of BTDT.
