Rear Diff Update

[dismiss@earthlink.net (The Judge)]

I picked up the circuit board for the rear diff indicator lights.  A local
electronics dealer replaced all three bulbs (two backlights and one "rear
axle" light) for a total, with labor, of $28.12 (incl. $20 minimum).

This was obviously a relief over the horror of the system itself being out.
The big shock was that my local dealer gave me the price for the part, 893
919 216, a whopping $125.00.

What a joke.  This was so bad that I saw their "dealer cost" and the
"extended price" in the book for this and other parts.  Anywhere from a 50%
to 100% mark-up.

Anyway, before any of you with a 80q (or otherwise) think your rear diff
system is out, check the lights on the board.  If you have questions about
removing the center console, shift housing assembly or the rear diff switch
assembly itself, let me know.  I am now an expert.
