I removed the wiring plug from the joystick and cleaned all the terminals and plugged it back in.
I am back in action.
Driving to Colorado springs the retarder appears to be working , hopefully permanently.
Maybe saved a trip to Denver  ;D :)) :)
Case Closed. ::)

Last week in almost the same place on I-25 my retarder stopped working again.
It has been more than a year and a half since the last time.
I pulled out the joy stick and disconnected the plug again only this time the plug is tight and clean.
So I just put it back on and it is working again.
So it appears there is nothing wrong with the retarder and it must be the location.
I guess I will stay away from I-25 and that should take care of the problem.  ::) ???
Thought I would post this in case anyone else is thinking of using I-25.

Barry,
Would cable ties help in keeping the harness in place?

Harness was tight and all contacts bright and clean.
I-25 trust me.  ::)

Near anything that might have generated high EM fields?  Radar perhaps?  (seriously - years ago it was the cause of some issues with Isuzu cars near an airport, possibly Love Field or DFW).
