anyone have a idea of what a new one cost and is a it a part that i can only get at the dealer?

 

Year?

Junkyard is always an option.

 

 

its for a 2001 the junkyards around here said they dont have any from that or any compatible years

 

I got mine from the local junkyard for $25's.

Ford Part # IL54-7H417-AC
Vendor # M799G
Motorola Model # = 01MP207C01
Data Code = 01083
Seriel # = 20982675

I replaced mine because my 4WD wasn't working ie: would not engage 4wd hi or low. My indicator lights didn't come on and go off after turning the key and starting the truck. After I replaced the 4X4CM everything worked fine. Hope this helps you out, because to get one from Ford dealership should cost close to $200.

 

would one from a 04 work with a 01?

im wanna swap them to make sure thats what it is before i go pay 100 bucks for one

 

The pcm from an 01 will not work for your 04 truck. The electronics changed in 04.

In pre 04 trucks, the GEM controlled the 4wd shift motor. In the 04+ models I believe it was replaced by a "smart junction box".

EDIT

The truck in your sig is or is not the one we are talking about?


FYI, most of the time its a shift motor causing issues not the computer.

 

its for my moms hers is a 01, the shift motor and switch have been replaced already

and this is the only thing left that i can think of since the 4hi and 4lo lights dont come on at all


EDIT
so would a 02 or 03 work with hers if i can find one?

 

have you checked the lights to see if they are not burned out

 

4wd doesnt engage

 

if you can located it by picture for me, I will probably be in a junk yard that has an '03 4wd Edge in it that I can get it from....probably really cheap...

 

im gonna try to find one around here first so i dont have to deal with shipping or picking it up
