So it has to be done/programmed in the vehicle?
Is there any place that pre-programs them prior to install?
I am replacing mine and the vehicle is not near a dealer.
would have to have the Ex towed to the dealer to program? before being able to start/run?
thanks for your help

If you find the 1/2 FICM you dont have to reprogram. The 1/2 containing the program remains while the 1/2 that does the voltage step up is replaced. There is a ford part # for the 1/2 ficm. I bought mine new on flea-bay and it worked perfect.

Hey cheezit...can I program my own FICM with any of the aftermarket tuners out there? Like maybe one of the SCT, Bully Dog, or another brand?
When a FICM is so easy to replace but still costs $1200 from a dealer for replacement and reprogramming, I can easily justify a $350-500 FICM and a $350-500 Tuner to the wife...
...that is if an aftermarket tuner can program a new or rebuilt FICM.
