Well, the goose chase continues....

As I originally stated in the New Motor thread they replaced two components already. Now I'm told the PCM itself is bad. Now if the PCM is bad, isn't it possible that the error codes for the PCM and transceiver were false and that those two components are fine? The mechanic doesn't seem to agree and I am stuck footing the bill for everything, which is hovering at $1,000 at the moment. Who knows what will be wrong after replacing the PCM. Looks like I'll be selling this thing when I get it back. Any suggestions on my options here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Well, the PCM was replaced today. It still didn't solve the problem. They now have to contact Ford to see where to go next. I assume it's going to be something with one of the wiring harnesses but I've been raising heck, getting the PCM covered under warranty and also trying to see if the initial two modules were even bad. This is quite the frustrating situation.

It was found that water had leaked into the MSD ignition box and caused the blowout of all the other modules. And of course that means no warranty coverage on anything. :mad:
