Actually I monitor CR4118's voltage to determine whether it needs replaced or not. 14 volts -OK 12 Volts - Replace 10 Volts - Bad and there's a big wide replace area with skinny -OK / Bad sections if you want to make a meter out of it....;-) Yes replacing CR4118 will cover a multitude of problems/intermittants.
