Does anyone know a reliable source for Canada to get a replacement ECM and or BCM (or full set of computers for that matter) for a 2003 Freelander 1 SE3 V6 Auto? I called the dealer and they say I'm basically SOL and the alternate shop that claims they can program computers wants $125 with no promise that the donor computer will even take the code!
I am currently with a fried ECM and BCM I do have a donor ECM and BCM that do work but not with my car. When I swap the ECM the pre-existing key with engage the starter but it will not fully turn the engine over. I was supposed to go to the donor car to find the key and immobilizer but I still dont know where to find the immobilizer unit on a north american car (I need pictures).
I see full sets of computers located on ebay UK but is there anything else to it than swapping the BCM/TCM/ECM/Immobilizer set? And even then WHERE IS THE IMMOBILIZER LOCATED????
The symptoms are that every possible code shows up rooted to a non-communication error from the ECM. But if codes are cleared with a heavy duty reader (snapon brand shop computer) all is well until the engine is shut off and restarted (going through the self check process and freaking out again)......
