You most likely need the potentiometer. There's an ear that breaks on the piece that slides, causing one of the 2 functions to not work. You will have to remove the column and disassemble to find out for sure, although it will set a code in the scil module that does not turn the check engine light on. Also good luck finding one, as they are hard to come by and usually sell for around $100. I will look and see how many I have, and decide if i want to sell one.

Search the Mark VIII forum for potentiometer, and you can probably find a pic of what I'm talking about.
