anything.
2. Disconnect the 12V Battery if there is one present in the cabinet.
3. Unplug the mains supply plug from the power outlet.
4. If the faulty AW2 module is the outer module (i.e., not trapped between two other modules) then
jump to step 7.
5. Remove the four screws securing the outer AW2 module to the Cabinet.
6. Leaving the outer module wiring in place unplug the outer module from the faulty module.
7. Unplug (only the wired) screw terminal plugs from the faulty AW2 Module
