    ZB Fuel Pump Control Module numbers?

    Hey all - has anyone had experience with swapping out Fuel Pump modules in a ZB? I assume it is just plug & play like other models (though could very well be wrong lol) but not sure which numbers need to match up? Any guidance would be appreciated, cheers
