Thanks for the offer! I'll have to check the Sens schedule, see when my team's in town. I may be able to borrow an ACC locally to test that.
There are a number of old threads on it and the dreaded part is that replacing the entire box involves many hours of meticulous dashboard dismantling and reassembly. Steering wheel, all of it.
I don't know that pictures would necessarily help me. If its not the ACC unit, the next best thing might be replacing the actuating motor which is kind of what I was hoping someone would say (and I'm not 100% that the motor can be replaced without taking the dash apart). After that, the problem is the parts of the box warping/binding, and it seems like few owners dealt with this out of warranty. As the part hasn't been available for a long time and most used units would have the issue, its not even worth taking the dash apart since the replacement might not be much better.
