There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
ECU removal - where's the tabs to release the 2 wiring connectors?
- Thread starter wmh9680
- Start date
The brass knob is the headlight aiming adjust for that side headlight - you'll have a matching one on the other side for the other headlight! :thumbup:
As for the tab to press in, you can't actually see the tab in your pic cos you are looking at the side of the clip, not the face. So, look at the bottom right of the clip in the pic you showed.... you can see a placcy bar heading 'into the pic' & across to the other side of the ECU... the tab is what stops the middle of that bar from moving up & around as you swing it to follow the arc of the quadrant on the top of that whole placcy clip thing, so you hafta push it IN before you try to move the bar. Make sense?? :dontknow:
If you could get your eye down alongside the bottom screw shown in your pic, and look to the left of the pic or directly at the clip we can currently see the side of, then you would see the tab quite clearly in the middle of the placcy bar mentioned earlier.... Help any?

Remove the 3 screws holding it to the Spyder and the use a small flathead screwdriver to depress the tab and swivel the lock

Ecu removal?
I would like to have the reflash done on my 2015 RT SE, however when I remove the three screws, then I can not figure out the release buttons, latches etc to get it to release, I have seen the pictures of the removal but they are out of focus and do not show the exact spot to touch just a general "push here"...so is there anyone that can post a picture of the exact point of contact to remove the ECU? many thanks if you could make this happen for this old man.

Don't have a pic atm, but IIRC, there is at least one on the Forum somewhere, if you search.... :lecturef_smilie:
However, the release levers for the wiring plugs are a cam-lock type arrangement, only in the centre of the cross bar on each, there is a tiny little button you hafta release by pushing first, before lifting & swinging the lever arms. :shocked:
Hope that helps some. :dontknow:
Good Luck! :cheers:

This pdf is from Wick-It for the Monster Flash ecu removal instructions. It is, as the O.P. posted, pretty useless.
I can't find the release button either, as the pdf pictures only generally point to the area it's supposed to be. One picture shows the release button from the underside of the ECU but it's not in the same place the other pics show it to be.
Pretty frustrating. Can't get light or tools into such a tight spot to see what I'm doing.

I expect a standard Navy Nuke analysis and report once you get it back and try it out.

I expect this to blow the rods out of the core and go critical.
