FROM THIS FORUM:

This list is an attempt to put many possibilities in front of users to possibly shorten their search/decision making. None can be construed as a recommendation but rather beginning info from which to investigate.

The following nomenclature list was provided by LA PHIL:
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Restraints Control Module
ABS Control Module
Front Electronic Module
Rear Ambient Lighting Control Unit
Remote Keyless Entry Module
Instrument Cluster Module
Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module

(2018) our friend DavidA just added this as a source:

this is the one that provided the PCM that got me running again. Flag Ship One (Linear also used in January 2017 with favorable results).

The following is one Gene (007cruiser) posted and I believe that DavidA either used or found. Think this gent was also referred to me by Ron McCloud. Spoke to him at length and said module had to be sent to him. No shelf stock and might take two or three attempts at the right one. Both Links will get you to the same Company).

99% of the suppliers listed only have the ECM available. You may need to make half a days worth of phone calls to find out that there are no FEM (Lighting Control Modules) anywhere. Repair is the only option.
If I send my module in for repair I may need to insure it for $10,000 in case it is lost or stolen.

VERY LARGE thanks for all the help! I hope this will work out. All the links and comments are very much appreciated!

THANKS!

I originally started this post to help get good info to members to save time in their search. We have had one member say they have had a questionable experience with Flagship One and another member advise that they know of another Nashville member who has had a questionable experience. One more and we'll remove them from the list. Be careful.

Good luck . They got me and a couple of others running with a PCM.

Everybody has PCMs by the bucket full.

parts.ford.com no longer lists FEM Lighting Control Module 14B205 for the 2002 Tbird. The only option now is repair.

Ford also no longer lists 3 different prices for the 13C788 FEM modules meaning all years from 2003 to 2005 should be able to use the same module. Good thing.

Still working on my 2002 bird. Kinda cold in Nebraska right now.
