WARNING
Rotating parts and lethal voltage levels are used in operating the FDECU. Be sure
power source is disconnected. Injury or death can occur if connected to power
source.
(1) Shutdown the FDECU per paragraph 2.4 and disconnect it from power source.
(2) Loosen eight captive screws (1) and carefully pull the electrical assembly (2) out.

(9) pieces from wire lead ends.
(6) Remove nut (10) and light emitting diode (8) with sealing washer (11).
(1) Be sure sealing washer (11) is on light emitting diode (8) then install light emitting diode and secure using
nut (10).
(2) Slide one piece of insulation sleeving (9) over each light emitting diode (8) lead. Connect leads using tags
each connection and heat to shrink in place using heat gun. Remove tags.
(3) Secure light emitting diode (8) leads with two tiedown straps (7). Cut to remove excess tiedown strap
