SAM Replacement
Has anybody replaced a SAM on their own before? I have read it is pretty easy. Dealer says my right front is out and codes cannot be read.

I have the part number:
2309001600



Any suggests on where to get for the best price?


Do they need to be coded to car or just drop in?


Thanks

procedure is as follows

connect the car to DAS
read the coding from old SAM
leave DAS connected to the car, replace SAM
transfer coding to the new unit via DAS

buy a used SAM and fuse panel attached to it. it will make things a lot easier.
