    Re: Brain Extraction (ECM removal) the pictorial.

    Thanks for all the pictures. They go in my now large Reatta info file. Since I haven't yet had to "operate" on this item, what procedure did you use to get at it? I assume it's located behind the glove compartment?

    Where is the BCM located? And are there other hidden electronic items whose location one should know about?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jack C.

    Re: Brain Extraction (ECM removal) the pictorial.

    Speaking of locations......

    The FSM index lists "ECM Removal" as being on page 8C-17. There is no page 8C-17. The pages stop at 8C-13. The ECM removal instructions are on page 8C-4 with a figure (fig.6) on page 8C-5. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
