Thank you for your reply.
My being "not handy" is absolutely true. I had my brother, who is very knowledgeable about these types opf things, go down to the dealership and look at the cable. He said he could fix it himself for about $10.00. I'll take a $890 savings anyday!
Apparently, he said the dealership does not use aftermarket parts for such jobs,a nd the only way they could do it, to their specifications, was to replace the entire module/harness whatever its called which would have resulted in a huge bill for me. This is interesting info and I'll keep it in mind next time I have an issue and think about taking it to a dealship for repair.
Again, thank you for your reply.
