    It just stopped auto focusing. I can focus it manually and the
    apeture works, kind of reminds me of 1985 but I digress..Does anyone
    know of anything I can do short of sending it in? I did clean the
    contacts..

    Thanks

    See if it works on a different body. Do any of your other lenses have
    the same problem?

    Yes, my 28-105 USM works fine and this lens doesn't autofocus on any
    body. It really isn't a big deal, I can focus it myself but if there
    was a quick fix anyone knew I would appreciate that.

    Thanks for the reply

    In that case it looks like either some electrical contacts or wiring is
    faulty inside the lens, or the AF mechanism itself needs a repair. You'll
    definitely need to send it back for repairs.
