On mine, no. Just a flashing 32/no horn/no cruise. You might be able to ohm out the wires with a meter to test the individual leads.

If you can master the advanced search feature, look for threads by subford concerning 51 & thermal fuse. He wrote quite a lot on troubleshooting it.

My old 1 didn't show any external damage, but that may not be typical :dunno:

Well I jinxed myself with this thread. Went out to crank up my 92 Mustang GT this afternoon & shake the winter cobweds out of it & what does it do?

Fashes a "13" at me & then settles down to a %@#* "51"...

Thanks for the tips...Scndsin, I will check out what subford went through. I did some searching on it awhile back but have long since forgotten most of what I've found.
