But where can I buy the correct one on line? I would like to buy the cable at a place where I know it will fit. Thanks, Thomas

However, many times it is cheaper in the long run to replace the whole system. How much is just a cable?

The steering froze up, and the cable no longer moved, even after I disengaged it from the motor. From my reading I take it that replacing cable as opposed to just trying to disassemble and grease the cable, is the best.

Replace the cable or best is actually replacing the whole system at not much more cost. Then it is all new.
