=== Cleaning Your Connectors ===

This sounds like something silly, but it could possibly be one of the most important parts of the entire procedure. A dirty or corroded connection could very well be the cause of your AFM problems, and many a person has needlessly opened up their AFM when all they needed was to clean their connections. This may or may not take a lot of time, it varies depending on how horribly corroded and dirty your connectors are.

The first thing you need to do is locate the connector on the underside of the AFM. If you removed the AFM from the car, the harness connector should be easy to find. Spray down the connectors on both the AFM and the harness with just enough cleaner to soften the corrosion. Let the cleaner soak for a moment, then grab your flathead screwdriver and start scraping that corrosion off of the connectors. Give another squirt of the cleaner and let it dry, then use a paper towel or cloth to clean off any remaining debris. Set the dielectric grease aside - you'll need it later.
