Best Other sat in a very damp garage for three years while the previous owner served his country. It was so bad that the shaft that turned the worm gear in the PB unit was galled and could not be physically turned. I had to drive it out with a brass drift and polish it with a crocus cloth. I also had to remove the headlight switch, disassemble it, clean it up with a Dremel brass brush and remount it. It still works OK today although the circuit breaker will kick sometimes because of the Halogen headlights (too lazy to install the relays on this car). I did spend a good bit of time cleaning the headlight switch - car now has 98K plus on the odometer.
Howard, it is your car and the only one who will know you have a GM headlight switch is the driver. Good luck.
