Replacing Network Gateway ECU (fix battery drain)
Has anyone attempted DIY replacing Network Gateway ECU in their GS?
If so can you share your experience? I want to replace it, but don't know where exactly it's located and how to gain access to it.

No, I really want to know how to fix this too! My battery dies randomly and I can't find any info online about it's location. The module itself is cheap, but finding where to replace it is tricky. I think some digging about led me to believe it's behind the radio? Not sure, If you get any info please let me know.

It's alot of trouble for parasitic drain. I just hook up my CTEK smart battery maintainer if my cars has been sitting a few days. I keep the pigtail end sticking out so I can hook it up to the charger without even opening the hood. It maximizes the life of the battery.

eddie420, thank you so much! I was able to replace my ECU and that nasty parasitic drain is gone! Turns out i had ECU even older than one mentioned in https://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb...dPdf?id=195332.

No unfortunately, didn't have time for that, but here is step-by-step instruction:
- Remove trim around stereo/head unit, see [ame]https://youtu.be/gly6cIJYD6Q?t=39[/ame]
- Remove knee level side trim piece [ame]https://youtu.be/gly6cIJYD6Q?t=467[/ame] (obviously do it on the passenger side though)
- Follow steps 22, 23 and 24 from attached pdf.
- You'll see network ECU bolted on plastic backing piece (hope eddie420 don't mind me stealing one of his photos)
