I use mine almost every day.
Yes...
When I was hunting down a horn issue, it turned out to be a short in the turn signal cluster.
Theres a lot going on in such a small space.
I would dive into column and see if anything obvious was source of smoke.

If it works with no damage to new injector, doesn’t matter the brand.
I wasn’t even looking for snap-on, just looking for a good deal and lucked out.
