       Is it the valve or control unit your speaking about ?  The valve is 
repairable if it is just sticking.  If you do need the valve I have two good 
used ones.  Pmail me for details.  If it is the control unit behind the RH 
tail light.  That's another story.  I think  <A HREF="http://www.vanagain.com/">Van-Again</A>  has the best price on 
these.  I'm currently trying to repair some defective ones I have here but no 
luck so far.
