96 F150 ECU code location...???

I can't find my ECU Code!!! I know I could take out my ECU, but I don't feel like it, why can't I find my code? And who knows the easiet and fastest way to remove your ECU (in a 96)? Please reply if you know!!

Thanx!!

If you can't find the decal on the computer box, wiring harness or harness clamp on the computer (engine compartment, driver's side firewall) then you'll need to get the computer out:

1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the computer: The wiring harness is accessible on the firewall, under the hood, next to the driver side fender. Remove the single 10mm bolt from the center of the harness. Disconnect the harness.

2. Remove the two 10mm nuts from the top and bottom of the trim around the computer.

3. Remove 3 of the 7/32” screws that hold the fenderwell to the fender. Use a prybar with cloth wrapped around it (to prevent damaging or scratching the fenderwell) to implode the fenderwell. This is accomplished by placing the prybar between the fender and fender well and then lifting up on the prybar to implode the fenderwell. The computer box will then slide out.
