Sam?

[monkeyboy126]

Okay, whats a SAM and why do I need to spend £200 +labour to replace it?

Stealership has informed me I need a new one and the only issue I have is that the rear lights are on all the time...? Has anyone had experience of a dodgy rear SAM ? (ooh err)?

Thanks

Surface to Air missile. Stealers are having a laugh, not fitted to your car. Were common on Staff Cars during the early 40s, but now, sadly, discontinued.

Thank you, this made me laugh

I'll bet the "M" is for module.

I appreciate this isn't the answer you are looking for - but I would say you are now one third of the way to knowing the complete answer.

Erm, thanks guys...

So where are we

S -

M - Module

Anymore guesses from anyone, this thing is expensive to replace?

Here we go SAM Signal Acquisition Module.

Hope that clears that up!

Actually it's the Rear Signal Acquisition & Actuation Module

(I think that makes it SAAAM!)

Controls all your rear indicator lighting system brakes,reversing,fog,indicators etc but essentially is a little bit of plastic with a few microchips it it
