This was quite a disappointment. It is unbelievable to me that VALEO would have two different parts with the same part number. I plan on contacting VALEO to see how I would go about finding the original part for the Crossfire.

Currently my solution has been two strips of copper tape over the bad contact taped into place. It is holding for now, but I would prefer another solution.
I'm sorry you got a bummer here and you are having lots of agro.
