REBOCARDO;
Thanks for your reply. As I said in my first post, I will NEVER buy another Ford product as long as I live, and I am spreading the word to all I know over the way they have treated me and my wife.Two dealerships would not help, another said well, maybe in 3 weeks but meanwhile, take it to SNIDER transmission.
RE; the PCM board, there were three electrolytics on it one of which had goo coming out of its base. I replaced all 3 electrolytics but I still get the 512 code.I could not resolder the board because it was coated. The only way I could solder in the replaced electrolytics was by soldering to the leads of the old capacitors that protruded through the coating on the board. There were also a bunch of tantalums in there but I was afraid the leads protruding through would not be long enough. Again, thanks for your help.
