There is a six volt Varta battery connected to the circuit board in the unit. Removed the battery heat shrink, and scrubbed it clean with a stainless brush. Soldered new leads and a connector to the cleaned battery. Screwed the whole thing back together, and sealed it with RTV. I have the new unit, but have not installed it yet as the one I fixed has been working for nine months now.

Just wanted to share as this thread helped me determine the problem originally.

This is what I like to hear, they make these things so hard to open and often the thing is easy to repair.

Great job, lets hear more of these fixes that save money and help us quit wasting parts that can be repaired and reused.
