Uch removal

[chepch]

Trying to remove my uch to replace the unit.

Have it it dropped down from dash but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to remove the unit from the wires attached. Am I missing something?

Any advice from someone who has done this before ? Video / pics anywhere?

Thanks.

They just pull out mate.

Thanks

Tried this but didn't want to use too much force incase I was wrong.

Are they on spade type connectors? Need to be able to put them back in after without damage.,

Yeah you don't want to pull on the actual wires!

Get a large flat blade screwdriver or a trim tool and pry the plastic connector out. They've been in for 10+ years so will be slightly stiff.

This is the thing you can see, yeah??

Spade connectors removed easily as above picture.

There are wires on the other side if this unit stopping me from removing the unit from the car.

Picture hopefully to help

Appreciate the help in advance.

Have you taken that picture now? Can you take one from a bit further away? You're a bit too close and i'm on my phone.

Front side of my uch is white with blue, yellow and black block connectors removed.

Back side is black and has wires as below. Trying to remove these so I can get box out of car.

That's not the UCH?? or if it is, i've never seen one looking like that, and i've removed/refitted a fair few.

Never seen a UCH like that lol

What car is it ?

Thats a Ph1, Its more a relay box than a UCH.

You can't remove the wires, but everything you need to see/get at/test is on the bottom visible side

It's out!! 2 tabs on the top to release the white plastic cassette.

Fingers crossed the new one does the job?!!
