GPCM

Hello everybody. I am getting the check engine light and code P0683 on my 2006 6.0. It points to the GPCM, but I just replaced that with a new in the box Motorcaft from eBay.. I cleared the codes and the light came right back. Are the units from Ebay crap or do I have something else wrong? I of course did not look at the plugs in the harness when I replaced it, but the wires looked good. Should I just try another GPCM or is there a test I can perform on the old one?
I saw where you can test the glow plugs, but I can’t find anything on the GPCM. Truck only has 70,000 miles on it.

Most Motorcraft on eBay are counterfeits unless you do your due diligence.

It might look real but that part never came from Ford.

That would be the recommendation, replaced mine with OEM.
