Default M2W problem
Anyone else have a problem pulling the fuse to install their Mild 2 Wild exhaust controller? The fuse doesn't want to come out and i am afraid I might break it if i force it. Is there some "trick" to pulling the fuses that I am not aware of?

Thanks

The terminals that the fuses plug into can be pretty tight, and sometimes the plastic fuse pullers can even break off trying to pull them out. If this happens just use a pair of needle nose pliers. You can't break anything (other than the fuse) by pulling on them too hard.

I have pull my share and if you dont use the puller you can have problems gripping the fuse. You could also use a needle nose. In almost 2 years and over 2000 sold never heard that problem
