Update - the shop spent a couple more hours and ended up getting it programmed correctly and it’s working just fine!

That would have been nice to know. I only have FORScan lite, I should probably get the full version. I checked connections the best I could, I couldn’t find any issues, abnormal voltage, or short to ground. We did connect FORScan and found we were able to talk to all the other modules...

@joegr you’ve been the king here anytime I’ve had an issue.. any input?

Update - I purchased the PCM I listed above with matching tear tag. I consulted with the shop first and they confirmed the matching numbers I needed. Installed new PCM in car, and brought everything to the shop for programming. They called and were able to get it programmed, and 2 new keys...

John, this is the same video previously attached. I watched it, just confirming my understanding that the tear tag has to match. Also, attempting to confirm the previous comment from Amsterdutch who stated a possibility of the PCM having to be from the same year model vehicle.

I can’t say ye or ne. All I can tell you is in the above referenced video, the guy mentions the 4 digit # on a tear tag is the same on both PCM’s. In addition, my guy at the shop told me a 3-4 digit number would have to match. I have no clue on the year matching. Looking for a little insight...

Someone help me out on this to confirm The shop told me the numbers had to match on the computers for him to be able to rewrite the junkyard computer. Attaching a picture for reference. Is the number I’m looking to match “EBG1” ?

Dealership said they could do it, only problem is they are booked 30 days out. Spoke with another reputable repair shop in town that said he was able to do it same day. HOWEVER - he said the numbers on the tag on the PCM have to match. I need to check them one day this week. If matching, he...

Thanks for the info! Hope I can find somebody with the program that doesn’t want my first born child as payment. My understanding of why it won’t currently start (somebody correct me if I’m wrong) is because the key has to be programmed to the PCM - is this accurate? If so, could I possibly...

Hey Everyone, long time no see. back to work on a lincoln. This time, we have a 2006 LS 3.9. Daughter & Son in Law were driving. Got a call the car died, seen/smelled smoke. Car turns over, but wouldn't start. Went to check it out. Tested EVERY fuse, relay, and diode with a meter. all test...

Got a 2003 LS V8. Need center AC Dash Vent. (Probably saying it wrong) Any color will do.

fan running fine. condenser and radiator clean.

AC will freeze you while car is driving, or holding 2kRPM. while sitting at idle, not very cold at all. you still agree low freon?

test ran with suggested method. got 2 readings. 1 with engine off, 1 with engine on. Off - Ambient Temp around 90 Degrees - Low 105PSI High 125PSI On, recirculate off, 60 degree temp, full blast, 2kRPM - Low 55PSI High - 195 what say ye?

Got it! Perfect. I do not remember readings on high side, he just said it was within range. However, now I can see settings were incorrect, I will perform new reading and update after.
