Replacement PCM options
Hi guys,
Been away for a while so have not had the chance to get the car fixed.
Main dealer has quoted for a PCM 6000AED($1635) with discount. And for new plugs and Coils 2000AED($545) + labour.
Now my car is only worth roughly $6000. Economically its not worth getting new part.
The part number given by dealer was FD5L8Z 12A650 AC. Will double check tomorrow morning by taking it out.
Have looked in scrap shops but i cant find same part number.
Can someone tell me what part numbers are compatible with the car? what the part numbers mean ie the letters and different bits.
Again would like to mention. I live in Dubai, UAE.

Engine number: 5KD38466
Chassis number: 1FMYU92115KD38466
Part Number: FD5L8Z 12A650 AC

If you want to search nationwide in the US, try searching on this site:
Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market
You can enter qualifying data, the part, engine, etc, and it should return compatible parts.
I think there are two 'styles' of computer, one being much more available and cheaper. Search on this site, in this sub-forum for possible crosses and experience. You could also check on the site Escape City - Ford Escape Forums - Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Mazda Tribute, Ford Maverick - Index page as I think one member there posted his search results, and I think the substitution.

She start now
Quick update guys.
I got around going to different scarp yards and found a PCM, 6L8Z 12A650 L?. Cant remember the last letter but they were different.
Got new leads and plugs. Got it programmed and she starts and drives.
When they started the car with old part the exhaust was getting red hot so they took it off and cleaned it out but never tightened it properly. It started blowing after couple 100 KM's. Got it tightened and now she purrs along nicely...
But thrown an engine light. the guy showed me the codes and they were 2 O2 sensors and some vacum problem in or on top of fuel tank. mechanic goes. Just drive around for a week to test the PCM and then come back and we will look at the new problems. i have driven couple of hundred KM's and she is driving fine.
The Cost so far...
Dealer diagnostic: 450aed= $122
Breakdown Charges: 450aed= $122
Used pcm 1400aed = $381.
Coils 6= 840aed= $ 228
Plugs: 150aed= $40
Labour:1000aed= $272
Total to get her fixed= $1165
