    Decipha... thank you for this! One question... I want to order the part from RockAuto to save money but there are so many different choices. Different part numbers and different manufacturers as well. Which one is the correct one? Can you give me a part number?

    Get the Motorcraft one. Aftermarket ones have a habit of failing shortly after you install it.

    A couple of the non Motorcraft brand products have long warranties. That was the only reason I was considering them.

    What good is a long warranty when the $20 part fails and it takes you another 3 hours to R&R? I'd rather have the replacement part last a long time, than get free ones under warranty 3-4 times.

    That I can handle. I'm just more concerned about the disassembly and reassembly now. Everybody makes it seem like it's a pain in the ass then this other guy a little bit ago and said that it's not too bad and he did it in an hour and a half. I'm not sure what to believe anymore. LOL

    Even doing it correct way - pulling the dash out of the way - it's only a 2-3 hour job.

    BDA fix via EATC self test

    Kudos to the expertise available on this forum, again. Great people here.

    My BDA stopped functioning 2 days ago, just like that, no warning. I got on here for awhile yesterday and looked up everything I could find on the BDA. Did the self test and confirmed that the BDA was the problem. (Code 025)

    Somewhere in all of the "stickies" I found a statement that said:

    "Doing the EATC Self Test 3 - 5 times in a row can sometimes fix a BDA problem."

    Did this and hallelujah, problem fixed. What a great source of info we have here!

    Question: Does fixing the BDA in this way imply anything about the BDA? Is this a problem that will start to happen again and again? Did I just fix the symptom and not the root problem? Maybe I should start looking for the right P/N BDA and prepare for a more permanent fix?

    Thanks again,

    Yeah, you're probably just 'kicking the can down the road' so to speak.
