Re: where is ecm on 99 taurus,i need keypad code

Did you read the part that said I was kidding?
That means whatever I said I didn't mean. This time I really mean it.
Do you really think I really meant you were being stingy with info?
NO ONE can fault you with being stingy as you are the most generous and helpful of all posters, and your info is quite accurate, too.
You're right, you don't have to quote me chapter and verse on searches, as I too wish posters would search more before they request a rehash of a covered or even ongoing subject. It amazes me how often parallel threads occur simultaneously. Then I find myself repeating myself for their benefit.
Hence, that angle of sarcasm.
So, you're not stingy with the info, and you're reasonble to expect people to use the search more.
Sorry, I thought you'd get my sarcasm.
You're too stingy with the info and expect too much of people to follow forum guidelines, after all, they're just human.
All right, I've dug my hole deep enough now.

Sorry, roadglide7,
Back to the code location.
I follow the confusion, but I have no idea where I got the idea that it is on the PCM/ECU/ECM/engine computer, except that it was already suggested. I have no idea where I could have read that as my owner's manual DOES NOT say that. I also have first hand knowledge that there is not a code sticker on my ECM....etc, as I needed to recheck my info. What the OM does say concurs with the service manual but vaguely refers to it as a computer module. I looked at the Ford SM for a 95 (have I said I really like and appreciate having it, big guy? ), it actually says to look at the electronic door lock control processor located in the back of that generation of Taurii. I guess it is pre-RAP, and what you have, roadglide7, is a RAP that Rod teasingly and stingily(I'm kidding, I'm kidding man, relax, I can't help myself !) says is under the dash. Another location to look is on a label on the luggage compartment door, which I guess is for the sedan only, but could be the lower compartent in the wagon. Then there is the owner's warranty and code cards, which I guess you don't have.

Let's see, can I offend anyone else?
