-- Release and disconnect the connector -A- from the Auxiliary Heater Control Module -J604- -D-.

-- Again check between connections -C- (positive) and -B- (negative) for example using a voltage tester. There must no longer be any voltage present (danger of short circuit).

• To prevent the -C- (positive) and -B- (negative) connections from being switched, they have different diameters (M6 threads and M8 threads on the Auxiliary Heater Control Module -J604-)
• If connections (C- and -B-)are interchanged, the Auxiliary Heater Control Module -J604- can no longer regulate the current so that current flows continuously through the Auxiliary Heater Heating Element -Z35- (unregulated with maximum heat output).

-- Remove the wire connections -B and C- to the Auxiliary Heater Control Module -J604-.

-- Individually insulate the wire connections -B and C- after removal (risk of short circuit).

-- Remove the bolts -E-.

-- Remove the Auxiliary Heater Control Module -J604- (with the Auxiliary Heater Heating Element -Z35-)-D- from the installation slot on the heater and A/C unit.
