Muncher Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 So I'm trying to access the main computer behind the glove box to check if theres any torn wires or anything. How do i get the glove box apart to get back there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 ECU or TCU? Either way theres nothing behind the glove box. The TCU is behind the lower dash panel BELOW the glovebox and the ECU is up above the gas pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 TCU is a dull silver and has Asin on a red label with an AMC part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncher Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Ok so i was told one of the computers was under the glove box. But where is it? I have it stripped down to this and am not sure where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Thats your air box for the AC and heater core. The lower dash panel you took off should have the trans computer if you have an auto. Otherwise the ECU is on the drivers side under the dash above the gas pedal.(in your case its still attached to the dash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it stripped down to this and am not sure where it is. Your signature says you have a 5-speed. There's no TCU (Transmission Control Unit) for a manual transmission. Your ECU (Engine Control Unit) is on the driver's side, above the gas pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Actually if everything is still intact and operates as it should, it should all work via the signal stalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gjeep Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 You have a 5-speed truck - if you had an automatic there would be the silver transmission box (TCU) on the lower dash panel you pulled. The only other silver box Renix years which you have would be to the upper right of the steering column. This is the engine controller. The yellow box drivers side on the lower dash panel is the cruise control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
