garrtim :

a used part will not work -- they do make rebuilt ones that have been reset /come blank

Customer :

is there any way to get the one I got reset

Customer :

what is involved with rebuilding

garrtim :

the rebuilding is repair of circuits then reprogramming with computer--

if each car has a individual vin # then why do they sell them used?

garrtim :

they should not

Customer :

do you know of a company that does sell re manufactured modules

garrtim :

the process -- when replacing any module -- is to install -- then hook up dealer computer -- reconfigure module and instal vin # XX match

garrtim :

garrtim :

If it came out of a used car -- it will not work --
