Title: module melting!!
Post by: bbobcat75 on April 23, 2011, 06:25:19 PM
i have noticed that the module under my brake booster is melting away, im guessing that it should be replaced, i have had no problems with it starting or running just worried about why it is melting away, a friend of mine said that the glue that they used back then sucked and it happens all the time!! any help would be great as well has where to find a good replacement not a cheap one!!! thanks eric

All the original ones do that - it is the potting that surrounds the electronics. 
I had seen original ford parts on rockauto for like 80 bucks or so.  Good to keep a spare int he trunk and use the original until it actually dies.  Thats my plan anyway...
