I have 3 possibilities behind the lower facia by the steering column , behind the glove box or what's in the box at rear passenger side of engine compartment ?
I don't want to start dismantling the wrong area of the car

Could anyone tell me where the EWS module is located on a 55 plate E53 ?

Re: EWS Location ?
No idea on the EWS, but the DDE ECU is in the engine bay box. Careful with the rear catches on the cover.....they can snap.

Thanks Richard .
It may be worth a (careful) look inside there then.

Re: EWS Location ?
Oh - not in the engine bay box - anyone else any ideas ?
I suppose I should dismantle the lower fascia below the steering wheel but I can find a couple of retaining screws but when I remove them the panel doesn't appear to want to come off .
Am I missing something ?

I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)

Re: EWS Location ?
I think I am in the right area but can't find it 
I cannot see anything bolted to the dash support bracket neither front or back - providing I am looking at the correct bracket !
I tried to load a photo but couldn't , will try again.
