Re: 1993 grand cherokee
Well Bob, must have just been a dirty contact in the regulator I guess that
cleared out when I thumped. Like I say, it happened twice over the years and
worked like a champ after thumping. I think I may have shot it with canned
air too.
Good luck.

cleared out when I thumped. Like I say, it happened twice over the years and
worked like a champ after thumping. I think I may have shot it with canned
air too.
Good luck.
