    On my 24 prime there is a electric module for rust control
    Car is corrosion free rustproofed
    Should I leave module or unplug it

    All that space to make a title and that's what you put. Cool.

    But no, keep it. It's totally legit and not an item that suckers buy. Will go along nicely with an EMP protector module.

    They're scams and the only thing they do is potentially drain your 12V battery(which is already a problem with the Primes). Well, they also drain your wallet because you likely paid a decent amount for a worthless piece of plastic and metal, and you're also paying the interest on it since it's likely part of the loan.

    I guess it was meant to be having this car
    No payment on car
    Excited I wasn’t thinking about looking for module
    Was on the car from day one
    Not a believer of module (krown rustproofing usually on cars not this one corrosion free I will see after winter)
    2 cars I worked on had module plus rust plus roughly 30 years my neighbour had a module car was rusting and it was outside for years
    Prime is always plugged into battery tender as soon as I get home
    Just wanted to see what everyone taught
