    Sorry if this topic is already here, buried somewhere. A quick search turned up nothing...

    My Coastal EV mod is going haywire and I need to take it out. It repeated tries to engage without me pulling on the CC stalk and it's A.) really annoying B.)knackering my battery's SOC C.)disconcerting

    Has anyone removed the little bugger? What's the best way to eradicate it? Simply remove the wire taps and patch up the wires with electrical tape?

    A paper that came with mine says unplug it and leave the taps connected.

    Ah. Mine disappeared. I'll have to try to dig it up, but I'm not hopeful. Thanks.

    We had to remove Doc Willie's one, but you'll have to translate the
    lingo. I've made some tools for dealing with ECU pins, but this
    one was apparently mangled in just a little too much and I didn't
    want to risk the connector shell.
