Rebuild ECU

[Z.G]

Who can rebuild, or rather re-solder an ECU? Not even sure why, but I ended up with one of my customer's 97 D90's ECU to have repaired.

In retrospect, I wish I were better at saying no. But now we're here, and I need to find a shop to repair it. The customer mentioned the vehicle would only start after he tapped the side of it, so I assume it has a bad solder or loose connection somewhere.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not. My other toy-car is a Jaguar, and on the Jag forums, some people have noted Autotek parts in California as competent with ECU repair. I haven't sent anything there, and if I do have a Jag ECU done it will probably be done by Roger Bywater, but it might be a good place to start.

Thanks, I will shoot them an email!

Give him back a D1 ecu with the alarm system toggled off ?

That was next in line if the rebuild didnt work out

Where do you send the D1 ECU to have the alarm system toggled off?

Years ago I had a Panasonic TV that the sound died. I pulled the board and gave it the once over looking thru a magnifying glass. I found a cold solder and redid it. The TV lasted for several more years. It’s worth a try..........

Someone with a testbook 4 and cables can do it. ECU has to be plugged into a truck can't be done on a workbench.
Drew Swoboda does all of ours.

Does this allow the ecu to function without an alarm, or does it still require an alarm present but bypasses the pairing

if no alarm, does the wiring harness require modification?

 

[Uncle Douglas]

Turning off the alarm function means the ecu doesn't look for the 10AS alarm module before starting the truck. Otherwise the ecu functions normally. It's how we retrofit gems engine systems from discoverys into early defenders.

Does this sound like the procedure he’s doing?

if so it might be possible to do this without all the wiring harness. Ill have to experiment once its not so hot out

How does one contact Drew to have this done?
