I don't know the answer to your question, but it is likely a defective pc board - broken trace or surface mount component popped loose making intermittent contact when jiggled.

It sounds like he has a bad PCM. |

I remember you mentioning that sometimes these units get cleaned up and resold, without the problems being resolved. -KM |

Chrysler Does NOT reman these units, It is a aftermarket company that that does this and puts them back out on the market,I will say that I have not had a problem in awhile with installing one nor have I heard of any problems from anyone installing them. It is possible that the company that has been doing the repairs have tightened up and got their act together or maybe Chrysler is using another company to get these units from. You would be surprised of how many "reman" products get cleaned up, painted and sold as a good part get put back out on the market. Alternators, starters, a/c compressors....There are several parts supplies out there that I would never purchase such an item from Glenn |
