Garmin sent the exchange GSA 28 autopilot servos and I switched them out on the -12iS today. Van's has Service Letter 00055 that is to be performed following the servo replacement exchange that requires the wire C7042, pin 23 at the AV-60000 main 50 pin D-sub connector, to be severed and the stub heat shrinked to cover.
Does this action render the autopilot disconnect buttons on the sticks and the one on the center console inoperable? If so, then what will be the method for disengaging the autopilot once engaged?
Also does replacing the servos require any new configuration or reconfiguration to make autopilot functional again?
