Multi-Function Anti Theft Keyless Module

So this is beautiful... the module behind the radio is called the "Multi-Function Anti Theft Keyless Module" and is no longer made by Ford or anyone... yeah!!!

Best we can do is junkyard or find one remanned... 4c7t-15k602-aj is a similar part number (and there are other similar part #s)... my part number is 2C7T-15K602-AF...

This is a real f-tard of situation... Ford needs to fix this.

Why are you even expecting that Ford would stock parts for a twenty year old vehicle? It doesn't work that way..

Ford's policy is to have parts available for the first 10 years of model unless the basic model is in production longer than a few years such as the 2011-2016 Super Duty.

Look harder.

If you can't find it as a new item still in stock somewhere, you have no choice but to look for a used or refurb'd part.

Just the way it is.

The part # you need is 4C7Z-15604-AC.
It is discontinued by Ford, but Google that # and you'll get a lot of hits.

That's the VSM btw or vehicle security module.. You could tear into it and maybe fix depending on issue .. Here's a good link.

The Government requires that auto manufactures make parts for that vehicle for 7 years if Ford's internal policy is 10 years then I say they went above and beyond.

I am guessing you mean the traces that look like they might have been water damaged? If so would be an easy test with a meter. Just test the start and end points of the trace for continuity. You will have to scratch the protective clear coat off to get a good reading. If the traces dont have continuity then just run small wire from start to end point..

That is NOT a part number, it's an engineering number.
The engineering number will appear on the part, but the correct part number (the number on the box, which is what you order from Ford) is 4C7Z 15604 AC
Sorry to be pedantic, but the whole part number/engineering number thing can cause a lot of confusion for those who don't know.
