Installation recommendations

Generally/Typically for replacing the ignition bar (ignition module), the exact steps may vary depending on the specific model and make of the car.

1) Before assembly (checks of the used part, what to compare with the old part)

• Compare part number 5970A5 and the overall design of the bar with the old piece (shape, connectors, mounting).
• Check the condition of the plastic body, connectors and insulation – no cracks, signs of burn-through or leaking resin.
• Inspect the contacts (pins) – they must not be oxidized, bent or loose.

2) Necessary tools and materials (in general, without specific extra parts)

• Basic set of ratchets/extensions and screwdrivers according to the attachment in the given car
• Cleaning agent for electrical contacts
• Dry cloth or compressed air to clean the surroundings
• Protective gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery (to protect the electronics).
2. Allow the engine to cool down to avoid damage to the part or personal injury.
3. Get access to the ignition bar (remove obstructing covers/components if present).
4. Clean the surroundings of dust and dirt before disconnecting the connectors.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector carefully (do not twist the wiring, work with the connector fuse).
6. Allow the fastening of the ignition bar according to the design.
7. Remove the strip with a smooth pull – without prying, so as not to damage the surrounding parts.
8. Compare the old and new piece one more time (connectors, lengths, mounting).
9. Put the ignition bar in place and seat it evenly.
10. Tighten the fasteners adequately and evenly (without over-tightening).
11. Connect the electrical connector and verify that the fuse of the connector clicks properly.
12. Reinstall the removed covers/components and connect the battery.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Start the engine and observe the idling stability.
  • Check that the connector is tight and the wiring is not stretched.
  • Take a short test drive and verify smooth acceleration without dropouts.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Pulling on the cables when disconnecting the connector → always release the fuse and hold the connector.
  • Assembly in a contaminated area → clean the contact surfaces and surroundings before assembly.
  • Insufficient securing of the connector → after connection, check the click and firmness of the connection.
  • Tightening the fastening → tighten with sensitivity to avoid damaging the body of the bar or the threads.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Thermal stress and aging of the insulation in the engine compartment.
  • Moisture and subsequent oxidation of contacts/connectors.
  • Mechanical damage during careless disassembly/assembly (prying, pulling on cables).
  • Poor electrical connection (loose connector, dirty contacts) which can lead to overheating.
