2) Necessary tools and materials
- Basic set of hand tools
- Suitable tools for removing covers and fixing
- Cleaning agent for electrical contacts
- Clean cloth or soft brush
- Protective gloves
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and leave the vehicle in idle mode.
- Disconnect the battery according to normal service practice for working with electrical components.
- Provide access to the original BSM unit by removing covers or obstructing parts if they are in the way.
- Carefully mark or document the location of each connector.
- Disconnect the electrical connectors carefully so as not to damage the latches or pins.
- Unfasten the unit and remove the old part.
- Compare the old and new unit by numbers, connectors, shape and mounting points.
- If necessary, gently clean the contact points and check the condition of the wiring.
- Sit the new part into place and fasten it without excessive stress on the plastic parts.
- Connect all connectors in the correct order and make sure they are fully secured.

- Connect the battery and perform a basic electrical function check.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check for power outages or abnormal electrical circuit behavior after connecting the battery.
- Verify the operation of systems related to power and fuses in that part of the car.
- Perform a short check of the vehicle’s function in normal operation and observe whether new faults appear.
- After the inspection, double-check the correct seating of the connectors and the fastening of the unit.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Replacing connectors – document everything before disassembly and connect the connectors systematically.
- Part Code Mismatch – Always compare all numbers listed, not just one major designation.
