i posted this picture earlier in another topic but i probably should have titled it different. has a number on it that says sachs 488 911 618.113.01.it was found zip tied under passenger side dash wrapped in electrical tape with a melted cover.trying to figure out if it is something i need to check

It's part of the central locking that supplies power to the locks.

napaul

is there any way of testing to see if it still works or is damaged?

Pesty

does your central locking still work?

boxsey911

+1 on that being the easiest test. I had to replace mine because the door locks stopped working.

The melted casing is more likely to have been caused by a split heater hose in the footwell (they're made of paper), rather than the locking unit overheating.

napaul

yes it still works so i guess that is not an issue anymore thanks guys.Thanx guys

Kuchar

it is rear spoiler (wing) brain !!!!

Kuchar

rear spoiler control box sounds better

boxsey911

No it's not. Spoiler control module is 911 618 112 00 or 964 618 212 00 on later cars and is either located under the seat or in the footwell.

boxsey911 - it is spoiler control module, i am sure!
napaul can disconnect this module and take a ride ... spoiler wont move.

Kuchar, you can persist all you like but you will still be wrong

Here's the identical looking part that has the identical part number that I took out of my car....and I can assure you that when I took it out the central door locking stopped working but the spoiler continued to raise and lower like it should.

Kuchar, I thought it was a spoiler control also, but mine is an older car and a little different so I didn't speak up. I knew the enclosures looked similar, but I didn't know the boards also looked so similar. Spoiler control is under the seat and central locking is under dash. Here's the spoiler control board for the '89:

Interesting Monday morning reading!

Just trying to cool a spirited difference of opinion on an early Sunday evening here. What time is it in OZ?

I thought that spoiler brain was under the dash, when I stop I hear a relay in passenger dash zone!
