[s-cars] Actually the problem is worse than I thought.

[Douglas Fifield]

All,

It indeed appears to be the POS.  Since plugging the new POS into the
connectors for the driver's side unit (which I did leave in place for
the test), I have had no occurance of the miss/power loss.  Tomorrow,
I will get some heat sink paste and bolt the new one in.

I also received the Euro driver's side mirror from Vagparts
(www.vagparts.com) and put it in.  Big improvement.
