Heat and electronics don't mix

Not up to date on automotive technology (nothing newer than an '06) and this new, potential problem surprised me.

Just a reminder that heat and electronic often don't work well together.

I smile when I see container ships sailing past my house laden with stuff made in China

High costs are not only occurring with new high fangled thermo control valves.

On the ToyotoNations forum I follow, a recent post was about failing thermostats in cars that are only a 3 years old and the thermostat costing over $ 120 + dealership charge :
