isnt there a code sticker somewhere without taking out computer to tell the # i have to buy? like in the door jam or somewhere she cant seem to find it anywhere.

 

Hi.

Well, perhaps. Try looking on the rirht front passenger door jamb below the top hinge - 4-alpha code (e.g PCE2). That's for 97-03 F150's - don't know if it applies to the Mountaineer.

Shouldn't have to take out the pcm - sticker should be visible where it's mounted. Also not difficult to remove if you have to.

Here's another link to try:

Worst case - get a blank Xcal2 shipped & read the code with that.

OK thanks i dont have vehicle here, it is for a friend, thanks alot for your help..

 

Hi firedude,

Yes, as the others said, look in the front door frame, on both the driver and the passenger side, for a code sticker, 3 letters and 1 number.

And the PCM is very easy to get to, by the way - it's simply two 11mm nuts, one on each side to remove, and then disconnect the wiring harness - then the PCM slides straight out of the firewall so you can see that code sticker.

Worst case, we can send out the XCalibrator 2 blank and have him just plug it into the OBD-II port to read the strategy,a nd then tune him from that, sending him the files via email, that's very easy to do.

Hope that helps,
