I've been attempting to find a good used AAR, as others have, and have had no luck. So, I decided to fix the darn thing. It's actually a simple device. I believe typically two things go wrong.
1) The insulation between the housing breaks causing a short. This causes the fuse it shares with the fuel pump to blow, which causes the car to come to a discouraging halt. 2) The tube with the slot port gets stuck and won't close. If your insulation is still good, but the port won't close, you may be able to free it by removing the pipe, squirting in your favorite solvent: PB Blaster, WD-40, vodka, etc. Work the tube back and forth to free it up. I was unable to do this and needed to repair the wire, so I opened it up by grinding off the lip of the bottom housing with my Dremel. Attached image(s)
