Default Where can I find the computer???

A Saff Cossie (and Ghia) does have that information display in the dashboard.

But unfortunately mine isn't working It's completely dead

I want to fix it, and I know it got 2 computers.

One is behind the dash on the passenger side, but where can I find the other one?

And, is there anyone who got an idea why this system isn't working???

Thnx

it should be behind the small glove box on the drivers side, you need to take the lower part of the dash off to get at it. there are two clipped to the dash on is the alarm module and the outher is the door ajar etc
