Problems that go away by themselves have a tendency to come back by themselves.

At the worst possible moment, too

If it's a wire-jiggleing fix, I can guarantee the problem will return.

If it was a loose wire, possibly you fixed it if anything was disassembled or tightened through oxidation. Congrats !!

Dam' I dislike 'self fixing' problems!! They're always are on my mind when I'm using that item.

Now if only the broken landing leg gear on my 5er would self repair.........

If that @#$% foot++ of snow in front of the trailer would melt and the temps get out of the 20's and low 30's I could get it done with my Atwood kit instead of doing an engine job on my garage car. I have a mind to get a second parts kit and do the other one as well while I have the trailer on jack stands

My 7.3 has a leak somewhere on the topside. The valley is dry behind the HPOP, so I have yet to determine turbo pedestal seals, passenger valve cover gasket, etc. I dumped some dye in with the fuel, but with the rain, haven't had a change to go further. I hate working on stuff covered with oil!
