Default how to replace the control unit

took the car to the dealer to see why the keyless system and alarm are not working- they tested and said that the unit is bad.
ordered the unit and dealer wants my car all day for the install...
can not see why this is such a difficult install- but i need more info


cant tell in the service manual which unit it is that i have ordered-
page 22-128 shows a keyless door lock control unit... under the dash. i am thinking that the part that i ordered is the one under the seat, but i can not find it in the service manual.

anyone know how to do this install (remove the old one and replace it)?

Unbolt the old unit unplug. Plug in new unit and reprogram remotes.

I think I have a few of these in storage. Make me an offer. They were pulled from my track car.

i assume that it is the unit under the drivers seat?

do i have to remove the seat to change it out?

imagine that the dealer wanted a full day for this...

The module is located under the dash, on the right side of the wheel. Now there is a module under the seat if you have the OEM alarm.
