Earl, I'm not certain, but I believe you can simply rewire your existing
unit. To double check, disconnect the red and black wires, then use an
ohmmeter to check for continuity between both of them and the Crane module.
If there's no continuity, you can safely switch. Older units may have had
continuity, in which case I would suggest replacing the module.
