Deciding on component locations
➤ Control module
Never put the control module in the engine compartment. •
The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver’s side •
underdash panel to access the starter and ignition wires. If the
control module is placed just behind the driver’s side dash it can
easily be disconnected.
When positioning the control module, try to find a secure location •
that does not require you to extend the harnesses’ wires (they are
1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other
heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the
center console, above the underdash fuse box, and above the radio.
