I'm not real familiar with your sets specific tuner, but I'd suggest before going to all the bother and expense of removal and shipping, that you post some close up pictures of the mech which may help us better diagnose what the problem could be. It's possible someone had it apart and left a part out. By removal you're inviting more potential for damage and wiring errors.
