"brain" =  the idle control unit?

It's just a plastic cover. What I found tricky with that part, is
actually getting connector
off. The female terminals are very "grippy"; if I recall, they have an
extra tang that bites into the male terminal.

On my ICU, I noticed that the female terminals tend to get pushed out
when putting the connector back on.
