    Default Easy way to remove the ECM from a GXP

    I asked this before but I want to check again. Anybody found a quick way to do this? I wish they had kept it the same as the '08 GT.

    I think it is under the fuse box according to the service manual. I would just unbolt the fuse box / hardware in the area and go from there

    That's where it is, but that is a bit more work than I want to do.

    If you pull back the plastic liner under passenger side fender, you can easily access the bottom of the ecm and pop the clips. I wish I had known this access point was there when I changed mine out. It was a major pain in the ass!
