Has anyone been able to acquire a technician that could repair a Variable Relay Control Module for a 1996 MK VIII, or does anyone out there have a spare VRCM that would work in a 1996 MK VIII, that they would sell.
Its solid state, cant repair. Junk yards only place to get and 1996 is unique to 96 only.
I've got a buddy that works for a company that repairs ecm's.... I would be willing to bet they could fix a VCRM.
You can probably repair it, as the fan control system is what usually fails. There are relays inside. The best bet is www.car-parts.com. Thats where I was able to get one. You must search for 96/engine control computer/multifunction. List all by year, because they will list 95 and 94 also. Even tho they are not applicable. You need a VLCM - Variable Load Control Module - F6LF-14B239-BC. No other part number will work.
I have tried to contact car-parts.com and I am having a problem in phoning and even trying to contact them by email, they do not show a part for the MK VIII in there parts and trying to contact there webmaster@carpart.com fails. 582boat
I just did a search, and came up with 38 listings for 96 MarkVIII's. The only problem is, as I stated before, you have to email the business that are listed, because they continue to list the F3 and F4 part numbers under 1996 model years.
