Smile HCU - wishfull thinking

After several weeks of looking fo a cheap solution to my HCU problem I ran across this on ebay. Auction number 8052810640. Would this HCU work in my 96 Bronco, 5.8? $150 is a lot better than $450 from the dealer. The ABS test gives code 63 which is the fluid pump return motor is not working. I have checked all of the terminals and they are all clean. I think I have a dead spot in my motor. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

if the part # on the box is for the pump i would say no, the bronco # is f3tz2c215b and if it only cost $400 i would have bought one already.

I pulled a motor off a crown vic, the unit it self was differant but the motor was the same. Cost me 20 bucks. OH and the wire conector was differant as well but I just drafted the one from the nfg motor on to the crown and it works great. That was 4 years ago. no problems yet.

Been a few years, but its only 2 screws that hold it in. And best part is it doesn't open the system so you won't loose fluid and won't need to bleed it. Now all you need to do is go to the bone yard and find one.

Kick A##. That is the answer I was looking for. I am going to pull the motor and see if I can get it rebuilt or hit the boneyards around and start the search.

Will do. An inexpensive fix would be a nice change of pace.
