yeah, a/b module
i had started another post on it somewhere else, but it didn't go far
180 says that it under the ashtray
and philosophico messaged me with ash tray and center stack removal,from memory 3 years ago.
the service manual is confusing, sooooooooo
i thinking that maybe someone on here has documented it
thanks

Forget the battery - You better prep the car to sit that long.

I've never heard of an "a/b module".

Dave? 100/80? What say YOU, sir?


In any event, could you use THIS procedure but on the other side of the console?

i will prep it i go out of country.

the other car, bike and motorhome all come off of the ground, sta-bil into gas, trickle charge on the bike battery, thats about it for the rest of the stable, been doing it for years.
the xfire should be as easy but bosch electronics appear to be as fickle now as they were 50 years ago, lol.

I am SO a fan of STA-BIL. It proved it's usefulness time after time up in Michigan when we would leave the summer stuff stored from November to April and the Winter stuff stored from March to December.
