Help! Where is the EC module!!!

[MarauderBoy]

Got the chip from Reinhart last night and am ready to install first thing. Before I go on a seek and destroy mission, where is the EC module?

Good luck.

Also, look at Logan's article in the Tech Section. Follow the steering column back toward the firewall (you will have to remove the trim fascia) and you will see it.

Let us know if you need any help.

MB:

Logan's install article is excellent...I'd just like to emphasize a couple of points:

1. Disconnect the battery FIRST and re-connect it LAST. Logan says this, and it may seem like common sense, but it's VERY IMPORTANT.
2. When cleaning the transparent blue conformal coating from the contacts on the ECM, as the article says: "be sure you remove it ALL", but also be careful not to remove or damage the contacts themselves; they're not fragile, but they won't take a lot of abuse or gouging with a screwdriver, either. One of those lighted magnifiers comes in very handy for inspecting your work, especially on the back side. If you've never worked on a circuit board before, you may want to have an electronically-minded friend there with you.
3. Keep the chip in its anti-static bag until immediately before you install it...try not to handle it more than necessary.
4. Don't force anything, but be sure the chip is seated firmly.

Sorry for calling in an air strike (overly excited)! Found it and am proceeding with install.

Thnaks!
