YOu have two options.. OEM and Progressive Dynaics 4600
Personally I would inspect and very likely fix the one you have (Can do that if you are near Darian, GA) but if you replace, go with the PDI 4600 This is one of the Wizard controlled units and .. I'm still looking for something that's better than the charge wizard. Have yet to find one.. Some as good, or very close, but non better.
Any tips on what might be the culprit on the WFCO board. I'm told the capacitors frequently develop leaks. What else.
