Remote lock question...(STFA completed) - Page 2

very clear that is the ESP box. It looks just like the ECU, but sasy ESP (or ABS, I can't remember). The addition of ESP may be when the changes referenceed in the article happened.

Did your box in the back seat have lots of tubes, or JUST wires? I think that if it doesn't have vacuum tubes, it's probably just the ESP module. Can you STFA for the part number on the box you found? It's some kind of BOSCH part, right?

I'd love to increase my range, if anyone

the ESP.

Well, I don't have ESP as evidenced by my lack of the silver box on the left side of the seat. I unplugged the box protected by foam in the right corner and guess what...
the locks still work! I still don't know what that thing is.
I don't see anything that looks like vacuum lines. I'll wait until it's a little cooler and go look again. I don't really care that much about this project, but it just pisses me off that we can't seem to find such a simple widget.
