Default What to do, used locking module options: Shokan $265+s, buy-it now on ebay $225shipped, another on

ebay that is currently at $120 w/ 2 or 3 bidders (not including self) with 8 hours left (w/ I think 10 buck shipping). I think I'm going to wait out the one thats still in auction.

Any better, cheaper, sources I am completely overlooking?! I have a feeling the min that bid is going to end at is 150+, I've read many posts of people finding them for < 100... So there are either fewer for sale, or I'm not looking in the correct places!

Default Have you tried A&P Auto in Independance, MN

They part out large numbers of B5's and should have the part you need. Google them and it should give you their contact info.

Default if you're in the northeast, Chris Semple at Force5 auto.

It's a bit of a gamble getting a used locking module, no? or is it just the electronics and not the pump?

Default Call Chris for used or new? Yeah I was kinda wondering same, worth the gamble?! I think it is as

long as I find one for around or under $200, that works well. Thoughts...?

Mine the pump still works (but VERY loud and sounds about done for) but the bottom corner of the circuit board got wet.

So I could get by with just replacing circuit board for now, but pump is on way out so better off replacing both aspects I think.. Seems there are a fair amount of ones w/ broken pumps that I could swap circuitry out of though.
