Should the two ECMs below be interchangeable? Mine, the lower one (E6TF12A650E2A), has three leaking capacitors and a fourth that resides atop its own little patch of blueish-white corrosion. It being 37 years old, I felt it might be handy to have a replacement in the event it should fail.
I ordered one to have on hand and was told it would be a direct replacement. I had assumed direct replacement would mean the same Ford part number, which they obviously don't share (E6TF12A650P2A). I plugged the new one in to verify it would work. When I went to start the truck with it, the fuel pump relay didn't initiate and that's as far as I went. If it's a "direct replacement," shouldn't it work right out of the box? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
