Re: Impulse Unit

Reference M:07:01-02 relay #32 (impulse unit) AKA Door Lock Relay. It
is best if you leave it disconnected as they have a high failure rate.
When it fails it will lock you in the car and burn out the door
solenoids and drain the battery flat. The downside of disconnecting it
is that the "Central Locking Feature" will no longer work. You will
have to lock and unlock each door manually either with a key or the
lever inside. If you wish to regain the function you are left with the
choice of either upgrading the "impulse unit" by rewiring it or
getting a Lockzilla from P. J. Grady. In any case leave the "impulse
unit" disconnected. You may want to go through the fuse box and clean
all the fuses, make sure that the correct size fuse is in the correct
spot, upgrade the cooling fan and blower circuit breakers, get rid of
the blue fan fail relay (#25) and if it is already gone then the
jumper harness that was meant to "temporarly" replace it should be
tossed also for a Fanzilla. Call any of the venders and they can talk
you through all the things you should do in the fuse box area.
