- 2010 Explorer XLT 4.0
Hello all, izzat here, new to the forum and the explorer.
Bought my 2010 Ford explorer XLT 4.0l two weeks ago, next day day while driving the highway, battery sign popped and a few minutes later the car completely died. Restarts once I pull over.
Anyway, took it to the agency they said it's a bad ECU, they charge a fortune for that and takes awhile to arrive anyway.
So wanted to get one from the junkyard.
My question here, I took it out to see the exact model number, it says 8L2A-BA / 8L2A-12A650-GC, I looked online, it seems for a 2008 explorer not 2010, so I'm expecting previous owner had it changed.
So what is the part number for 2010 (agency are refusing to give me that here which is dumb), and are 2008 parts compatible on 2010 or is it just 09 and 10.
And what's the difference between the first code and second (BA and GC)
