My 2010 Fusion has a defective steering rack, according to the dealer and needs to be replaced (for the bargain $1,400.00) because of the failed programming in the module which has inspired a "voluntary" recall. The dealer said the rack/module "failure" is really a programming failure and it can be reprogrammed to work correctly. Hence, I can buy a used rack & module and have it re-programmed to spec. So, I need to confirm:
1. Could there be a conflict, at installation that would prevent the module being re-programmed?
2. Will swapping the rack & module require detailed electronic & other knowledge?
3. Will I need to wipe the internals of all prior electronic assessments or leave it alone, prior to installation?
4. Any other surprises anyone knows about?
This is all $1,300.00 decision and is very important (used rack/modules start at ~$100). I greatly appreciate any/all informed insight into this otherwise expensive & specialized dilemma.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
