BASE MODULE PART NUMBER

[r44raven]

I've been checking the p/nos of the modules in my CAN - mainly with a view to swopping the EGAS and ASR modules with some spares I have, in my quest to solve my ASR/Limp Mode problems.

In doing so, I noted that the Base Module p/no: is 014 545 36 32. From this site's WIKI, it appears not to be compatible with a 500E? I do have 011 545 97 32 which I can swop in.

Can anyone confirm that 014 545 36 32 is not compatible?

If it is incompatible, could it be contributing to the ASR/limp mode I'm experiencing?

The other problem I have is, when trying to remove the module, it would only raise about 1-1 1/2 inches - as the 'female receiver' in the bottom of the CAN box into which the male electrical contacts on the module slot, tried to come out with it - but of course only came so far as it was held back by all the wires connected beneath it! Anyone got any suggestions how I might get the module detached from the "female" base? I obviously don't want to use brute force for fear of damaging any cables.

The EPC shows 014-545-36-32 only used on the 140 chassis. I don't know if it would cause any problems in the 124 chassis, but if you can swap in the correct p/n, it's worth a try.

The plastic colored female base should be captive in the bottom of the CAN box. Sounds like the pieces which retain it are either not seated properly, or broken. Pull out the other modules to get better access, but somehow you'll have to pry the module out, so you can determine why the plastic connector isn't remaining in place.
