Don't think anybody sells repaired ones, used or new.

Unless there's a cold solder joint, you are out of luck on repairing one.

Sorry to hack on the o/p thread...but I just ordered a reman from Fichtner in Montana and my question is when I get it will it be plug and play or will I have to have something else done to it?
Also, I gave them my vin#...

Thanks for any help!

Thanks SOOOO much!! Mr. Bob said he would pull my RPO's for me and send them with it...
So, once I install it I can take it to the dealership and have them put them in..correct?
Sorry for so many questions, Hurricane Isaac decided my car needed to take a swim...
Ya'll guys ROCK!!

It got wet in the flood water that we got from Hurricane Isaac...I've gotten all of the interior dried out and disinfected for mold.
Right now my windows won't go down, stereo doesn't work, I haven't tried the ac yet. When I turn the key on all of the gauges do the sweep and I get "reduced engine power" on the DIC.

How high did the water get in the car, and how long was is submerged?
