The CCRM on a 96 Sable is attached to the left side (drivers side) of the battery tray. Undo the spring clamp to remove the CCRM from the tray. The electrical harness on the CCRM is short. If you need to remove the harness, first remove the battery, then remove the battery tray, then you will have room to rotate the connector to expose the 5mm nut that you must loosen to remove the harness connector.
The CCRM has many relays on it: AC, Fan, Injectors, Fuel Pump , so the CCRM doesnt fail as a "unit" but one or more relays inside could fail. I had the Fan relay failed on mine, opened it and replaced with a new relay (found at specialty electronics shop). But the dealer will replace the whole CCRM even if only one relay fails.
