unofix Posted Saturday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:53 PM It looks like at least one connector will need replaced on the harness and possibly two. It might be a trip to a scrap yard to salvage an old harness and then splice the connectors on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should also be able to use FORScan to automatically download the "AsBuilt" BCM file for your car direct from the Ford servers. So if your saved file is corrupt due to the damage, then all is not lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the keys do need coded in, then all vehicles 2013 onwards can only be coded by a Ford main dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabolo58 Posted Saturday at 06:21 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:21 PM 30 minutes ago, unofix said: Yes it should be possible to use the licensed version of FORScan to programme the replacement. Make sure the part number of the replacement is an exact match. The revision letter must be the same or higher than the original. So I have the part number, which is DV6T-14A073-DL so do I need an exact match to this? when you say the revision letter must be the same or higher than the original which letter do you mean...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been searching for a good few hours, I can't find an exact match, but ones ending in K, H, M Hopefully @DaveT70 can share some wisdom with us to see what I can do. Thanks so much @unofix your help up to yet has been amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that the only one you can use is 'M' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
