Hello. I am trying to get the printed circuit board out of the (1988 digidash) lamp monitor module harness. My intention is to repair the corrosion on the board.

When I am trying to pull it out, I pull at an unused place (red arrow). The circuit seems to pivot somewhat around the center at the back (red circle), but it seems stuck.

I can't figure out if I just need to pull harder, or if there is some sort of plastic tab I'm missing. Thanks for any suggestions.

 

I clearly remember having a REAL hard time pulling the Light Monitoring Module from it's case before too. I've only removed it from it's case once - and it did not co-operate !

In your picture where the red arrow is shown,...... there is a notch cut into the circuit board right about where the point of your red arrow is. Insert a small screwdriver into that hole in the circuit board and use the plastic case for leverage to help pry it from it's plug. Might need to get a set of small "pliers" of some kind to grab-&-pull on the opposite side of the board while prying..... ( JUST BE CAREFULL not to scratch the circuits on the board with your pliers !! )

 

thanks, I got it out.
"Pull harder" was the right answer indeed. There is nothing more to it
