Just buy a new one, they are cheap. I bought one not too long ago and I don't think it was more than maybe $35 bucks. Heck a used one plus shipping would likely cost that much.

If you have air cond. it takes about 30-45 minutes to swap out and it is done from the inside, without air, it is even faster and done from under the hood.

Good Luck,

Lee

Mine from NAPA was right about $20 or so, and easy to change, which was good since the one from O' Reilly's failed a year later...
