Well This is how it went....talked to a tech and ask him if i could purchase a connector. He told me that would not be a problem. Then he said if i wanted to send the coil in he would put a new connector on it for me. And if the connector isnt the problem and the coil has shorted out or has gone bad ....he said he would get me another coil sent out to me within the next day. All of this being done under warranty at no charge. This is after i told him I was not the original owner of the coil. I never expected Garrett to go above and beyond my expectation on a used coil. This really says something for this company. Top notch customer service.
