The truck has 130k miles on it and the EGR valve components have never been cleaned or...

Yes, the light switch, in the half bath, has a constant source of power. That's all the electrical in that half bath. Just a light switch and a light.

Thanks for sharing your AS customer service story.

What model Kohler Cimarron toilets do you have? There are several, but the two I'm looking at are the K-3609 and the K-3589 models.
