removing the ccm doesn't seem as easy as youtube told me!

[chefshoes]

so plucked up the courage to remove the ccm to put a new thermistor on and the videos ive seen show me remove a couple of torx and boom
oh no...

how the hell do i remove it?

HELP!

[4x4]

Disconnect the battery then leave for 10 minutes for everything to shut down, then remove the plugs from the back of the CCM & radio and remove the entire unit

[stuart bowes]

I don't know about the facelift models but the older ones, radio and ccm come out seperately

is there a way to seperate the two parts maybe ?

[chefshoes]

i did find a video of the one with a surround and they do seperate but you have to unscrew the unit from the back

the battery has been disconnected for about 30 mins now as im sat here going bugger!

might disconnect everything (taking photos so i know what goes where then do the undoing in the house as per normal for this time of year its peeing down with rain and dark AF outside so cant see much! :/

Remove the gear lever cover and that will allow you more space to get it out

its out its on my desk, the thermistor is in one piece but rusted to hell so replacing anyway

[chefshoes]

progress, not sure if you can see but the thermistor is covered in dust and a bit rusty.

ive managed to get it off but unable to push the legs of the replacement through so ordered a solder remover thing coming tomorrow then put fresh solder on and fingers crossed

The hole is minuscule, you might still have a problem feeding the wire through after using the de-solder tool

[chefshoes]

Should I just fill with solder instead?

I really hope this fix works for you but I can't help feeling the cause of your lack of heating issue may lie elsewhere. The whole CCM system is far too clever for it's own good and needs inputs from several sensors - eg the cold side of the air con needs to read the outside temp sensor in the drivers door mirror.
