Need the Ford PN off your IRCM/CCRM

[matt621]

Hi,

I've got another thread going on this issue,

http://www.shoforum.com/showthread.php?t=51807

but there seems to be some variation with the Ford part number for this part.

When I called the dealership, they gave me
F1DZ-12B577-B

But my part number shows: F1DF-12B577-BA

Can some people give me their year and model and what number they show on their IRCM?

I'm looking in specific for 92 MTX, but I'd like to see others too to compare. Maybe Ford gave me the ATX no.

Thanks very much for the help.

There are a number of different part numbers (8 or so IIRC) that Ford has used, but I think it breaks down to this.

89-93 MTX all use a CCRM with a large M on it. There are at least four different part numbers for these CCRMs, and at one time I thought there were atually two different parts, but I am 90% sure they are all the same as long as it has the large M.

94-95 MTX uses a different CCRM, and I think it has a D on it. If you need more info, let me know.

93-95 ATX uses a J CCRM, and this is the same CCRM that is used on the regular Taurus models with an automatic.

Sooooo, you should be able to get any M CCRM from an 89-93 MTX, and it should work in your 92. I have never heard of people blowing out CCRMs even when they use the wrong one, but I have not seen it all for sure.

Good luck.

The part numbers that are on the part are not the part number that you order a replacement with. Any Ford replacement parts will have a "Z" in the 4th digit.

ACDELCO shows different PN for the 91 and 92, that I'm 100% sure of. So they would have to be different. I can't imagine them having two numbers for the same part.

I have had bad luck getting CCRMs from places likt NAPA, AutoZOne, etc. I ususally will end up with a regular Taurus part, even though it says it fits an SHO. My best luck has been with real Ford used parts, or you can usually get new parts from the dealer, but they will have to go through thier obsolete warehouse to get them. Pricing on new runs $160-$220ish. Used you can pick up for $35-60 depending on model and condition.

Hope that helps.

I have 4 "m" IRCM's and I picked them up used for between 20 -25 bucks.

This is for my 93 atx


F1DF 12B577-AA

and the replacement is

F6DZ 12B577-AA and only 132.15 from fordpartsnetwork

The "number" on the actual part is (as mentioned above) not a part number. It is an engineering number. Ford part numbers break down as such,

Prefix= Identifies the year, model, and make the part was originally designed for. (more on that below)
Root= Identifies the type of part
Suffix=Identifies the version of said part (ie; left or right, color, etc)

The first digit of the prefix is the decade. The two that are most commonly seen for us are E (80's) and F (90's).

The second digit is the last number in the year (0-9).

The third digit is the car type. D= Taurus, as noted above.

The fourth digit is make. Z=Ford

The part number in the original post signifies an IRCM/CCRM (12B577) for a 1991 Ford Taurus (F1DZ). It is the second version (suffix B).

It should be noted that you could, in theory, see a part to fit the Taurus that does not have a "D" as the third digit in the prefix. This simply means Ford used an off-the-shelf part that was originally designed for a different car.

The fourth digit is make. Z=Ford

Actually the forth digit is the engineering group or service replacement part:

Engineering group:

A = Chassis
B = Body
E = Engine

Service replacement part:

Z = Ford Division
Y = Lincoln-Mercury
X = Original Muscle Parts program
M = Ford Motorsport, SVO, FFRP

It's been eleven years since I worked in a Ford parts department. I just remembered Z and Y. Thanks for the correction.
