    Anybody wanna help me out??

    I'm currently having issues with my MM not starting. It's in an electrical shop now and they are telling me my ECM is dead. I had them take it out so I can send it off to be rebuilt rather them charge me 600 for a new one. Plus they said that might not still fix the problem when we get the new ECM in. So I was wondering if anyone near me in the DMV area would be willing to hook up my ECM in their MM so I can see if it is actually dead and preventing my car from starting. I'm located in Alexandria, VA minutes from DC and MD.

    Yup, its on the driver door jam. Its also on the computer. But thats not gonna work because of the PATS system. I guess you may be able to swap ingnition cylinders to so you can use your key in someone elses car too.

    Why not take it to the dealer?

    Well I already have it in an electrical shop and they said they could program it after I take it back to them. I guess they have the equipment to do it because he said he will need all keys that I have to be programmed.

    Did the shop say that there is no power to the PCM?
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:
    Alex "Marauderboi" Vachon 3/2/92-8/13/10
    Paula Babineau 1/9/67-8/2/11
    Rex Weinbender
    Peter

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Ask Zack to shut off the PATS. That's what I did. I got stranded once from a bad key, not again.
