    Ford didn't make them, a vendor did, just like Ford doesn't make coil on plugs, Hitachi does for them.

    So I dropped the Marauder off with Ford at 8AM to have the recall work done. They called me at 2:30 and said the job was "much bigger than they thought". The replacement part "Is bigger and has to be wired in". They arent going to have it done tonight so they are setting me up with a Enterprise rental car. Now to see if I can I get them to give me a Luxury Sports Car equivalent model since thats what I drive.

    When I had the LCM in Mary's car open (before fbm started repairing them) I seem to remember it said Motorola in the inside.

    Well it took 2 days, but Ford finally got it done. They said it took so long because there was wiring done by the previous owner that was causing THEM problems. They installed the new LCM and the lights wouldn't come on. (Which was why it was in there in the first place, but whatever. So they had to figure out the "problem". I know the work the previous owner did and it was top notch. Everything still works as it is supposed to and my lights work, so I am happy.

    If they said the cause was aftermarket wiring at the module then they would have charged you the additional labor because Ford would not pay any labor time to fix aftermarket wiring. Something doesn't add up, but who cares if you got it fixed and didn't have to pay from what I understand.
