Default ignition control module fix

ok, so my ICM went the other day and i am taking a shot at fixing the old one... so i got the cap off only to see that the whole unit inside is covered in silicone. how do i get the silicone off to solder inside, and does it matter that the silicone is gone after i am done???

Default You're talking about the module that mounts to the airbox?

I'm not 100% sure, but if you're asking these questions, I'd say the chance of you successfully rebuilding that control module for less than the cost of a new one are pretty slim.

I can get you one for around $113 IIRC.

1-866-684-3900.

Look up the threads for turboprincess. I fixed this about a year ago and it still works. and yes you must remove the thermal gel from around the pins or it will be tough to reach the heat needed to solder.

Default Sure, we've dealt with quite a few canadians already.

1-866-684-3900, or try 1-410-684-3900. Maybe the toll free number is for U.S. only. :-/

Try again tomorrow? Or email me, with payment info & shipping address.
