    Mr. Man, just lmk when you're ready and I'll come take it out. It's only 2 screws and a few connectors. Easy enough to do in the driveway.

    The LCM is just above and in front the diagnostic OBDII connector (just to the right of the steering column). On the front of the LCM are two grey connectors, depress the release latches and pull the connectors out of the LCM. Remove the two 7mm screws that hold the LCM to the bracket. Release the latch securing the LCM to the bracket. Push the LCM towards the firewall as you rotate the front of the LCM towards the roof.Once the LCM clears the bracket, pull it down and you can release the last electrical connector.

    To reinstall, do the same steps in reverse.

    Will take you up on that in the near future. Can meet you at Frank's and buy you lunch. Drive home for me would only be one easy left turn, so as long as the brake lites work I'd be willing to drive over for lunch. I'll PM you when I'm ready to see when we can meet up.

    Regarding this recall letter for 15S39, I was planning on getting this taken care of soon by the dealer and was going to request to Ford to order a new LCM instead of the fix of splicing into existing wires which I'm not a big fan of this. Do you think this will be an option?

    No, it won't. New LCM is no different than old one. Ford fix is to get out of making a new LCM. If you can be without your car for 2-3 days. Pull it and send to member fastblackmerc

    I replaced all four relays in mine with the exact same ones back in like ‘09 and was told “it’ll fail again”.

    LOL Still works perfect and already outlasted the originals by one and a half times.

    Me thinks it was a bad run or bad solder..

    Of the hundreds of LCMs I've reworked I've never seen bad solder joints. In fact, the hardest thing is getting the existing solder out of the circuit board.

    I have seen moderate to severe heat marks on the circuit board around the relay for the headlights that I believe is related to the excessive heat build up because the relay is under sized (10A) for the current drawn by the headlights. I've also disassembled the OEM headlight relay, finding severely pitted and burned contacts.

    The longer you use the headlights the more damage is done to the undersized relays and your LCM will fail gain.

    I've asked the same thing of my local Ford dealer and according to the parts department there are no LCMs available.

    I can repair your LCM for you. Comes with a life-of-the-vehicle warranty.

    You said this a decade ago Jim.

    Is the LCM easy to remove? To be honest, I haven't looked into this in detail.
