Where might I find one, other than a dealer. Mine has possiably gone out.

Thanks,
Trey
 
Give me the code off of your computer and I can locate a used one for you. I have a ton of sources for LS parts or you can try teamfordparts.com. It will be cheaper than going to your local dealer. Either way you still have to get the code off of your computer which is on a sticker on the computer behind the glove box.
 
It's at the dealer now, I will try to get the code you requested...

thanks
 
The dealer was trying to find me a used one too. I called and they’re going to get the codes you requested. He said they would be glad to install, but not guarantee it. I’ll have the codes in an hour or so.
 
Hmmmm......it's VERY rare for an ECM to go out. Usually someone fries them by improper handling or hooking an accessory wire into a computer controlled system.
 
That’s what I’ve heard, Air conditioner went out, checked fuse (fine) pulled relay re-installed and worked for a day then quit again, replace relay still not working, went to air conditioner shop said it was electrical, went to electrical shop, and they said I needed a new compressor, I did not think so, so I went to dealer to get the correct answer and they have had it a week and narrowed it down to PCM. And they have not seen one go out either, they were trying to find a used one to test and confirm, but no luck. If they install a new one fix or no fix they say it’s mine, so I’m here looking…..

This is from a dealer? And it's their own diagnosis??? I would pitch a holy fit with that statement.

I here ya, but if that is the problem, which I think it is I would rather pay $125, than over a $1000 for there's. They say the manuals tell them to trace all other wiring first, which is what I'm told they have, then go to PCM, which is where we are now. So if they do install there’s then it’s mine, if it does not fix it then I would pitch the fit…

Trey

P.S. they may have done me a favor by telling there position...we'll see....
 
Well I gave the dealer the used PCM. They installed it, said all was good (remember all this for the air-conditioner) Wife picked it up, went 2 blocks and the air went out. Back to the dealer for more expiratory surgery....
 
The dealer has put a coil in the compressor and all seems well at this time.

So I was told the PCM stopped providing power to the compressor, Then when the PCM was replaced the compressor still did not work so they replaced the coil. Total bill $430 labor, $140 PCM, and 3 weeks to figure it all out. They did provide a ride through the duration....Does the old PCM have any value or can it be fixed?

Thanks to all,

Trey

I think your dealer is full of crap! All they probably had to do was replace the coil on the compressor.

I completely agree!! I hate to say this where I really don't know for sure, but it sounds like you got hosed. What he says makes absolutely no sense. I can flat guarantee you I would be putting my old PCM back in and check to see if the A/C works. I'm willing to bet you a cold one it does....
 
agreed.

They should have by default swapped back in the original PCM when that did not fix the problem. Now there is no way to prove them wrong unless you do it - then making them believe you will be the issue.



by coil - do you mean the evaporator core?
 
Quik...you must be familiar with home a/c units! LOL Only they are the ones who call an evaporator a coil!

In this case...I'm just about positive he's talking about the clutch coil.

Yes I believe they indicated it being the clutch coil, but I need a way to test PCM which I do have....

Hosed, perhaps, but this car is so complicated I can see where it's easy to get hosed. This ain't a working man's car, so I was told.......

Trey
 
the only way I know how to test it is to swap it back into the car.....

not hard to do but will take 2hrs.
