(crash damage, panel beating it now) This part cost an absolute fortune at Ford, and I haven't found the exact same one from the wreckers yet. Some wreckers wanted to sell me a unit for $350 - $ 500, which is fraction of the new cost. The problem is: My car has ABS/DSC unit with part number 8R29-2C405-BA. (used from April 2008 to May 2009) The wreckers only have a part that are a few months older, or a newer part from Falcon FG. Would it be possible to re-load the correct software to one of these, or do I need the exactly same unit as the car had?

The CAN network goes through the ABS unit on its way to the PCM. In my case the CAN wires were broken inside the ABS unit.I glued the lid back on, and now the car starts, and the ABS and stability light goes off as it should after internal check. The ABS unit had the smallest print board and most miniaturized electronics I have ever seen.Will still look for a new unit from a wrecker, since my repair was a bit on the 'edge' of what should be done to a new car.
