I should mention that occasionally when it rains all these systems start working normally. The dodge dealer said that my FCM(front control module) and IPM( integrated power module) needed replacing ($1,000 plus labor). I purchased a used one on E-bay from a 2002 ram 1500 4x4, put it in and now engine light stays on. The original problems are sporadically occurring. My question is: do I need to have these modules reconfigured to my model vehicle to make it work properly Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 2, 2012, 1:29 PM Post #2 of 4 (1866 views) Re: 2002 Ram 1500 2wd 5.9Lfcm/ipm swap didn't fix problem Sign In You can't simply throw a used module in. It has to be programmed to that vehicle. If they said it need both modules, then they probably couldn't figure out which one was the problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. spivboy Novice Dec 2, 2012, 2:00 PM Post #3 of 4 (1848 views) Re: 2002 Ram 1500 2wd 5.9Lfcm/ipm swap didn't fix problem Sign In Can the used module be programmed for my truck? If so, does the dealer have to do that?

It has to be the dealer or an electrical specialty shop that has dealer equipment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
