2002 awd 4x4 module replacement

[fairlane429]

I would like to know if the 4x4 module will have to be programmed after replacement ? Aftermarket or Ford module any difference?

Welcome aboard!!

The title says awd 4x4 module.
If you have AWD - All Wheel Drive, then you do not have a module.
If you have A4WD - Automatic 4 Wheel Drive, then you do have a module.

Having said that, mine didn't need to be programmed when I replaced it. I don't know if there is an aftermarket module. I would definitely go with the Ford part.

Try www.rockauto.com, they are a vendor here and offer a discount for members. Click here for the discount.

Tousley Ford is also a vendor here and offers a discount to members. Click here for more info.

Also try www.silverstatefordparts.com, I got mine there.

Buying on line will be a lot cheaper than going to the local dealer.

Good luck!

I picked mine up at an "Explorer only" dismantler. I asked him "How do I know if it works?" He said, "We'll plug it into your rig and see." One screw & two plugs, and my old one was out and the new one was in. Did it in the parking lot. Just flipped the glove box out and worked through the opening. Everything worked fine, so I put the screw back in, closed the glove box, handed him 75 bucks, and went about my way.

Easy as pie!
