First of all, what exactly is the part? I mean, why not just try and look up the part number on the MotorCraft website?

Popped up as a part for a 94 Sable, one is listed for sale on EBay 350583112685. I'd think it's OEM.

The "F1" at the beginning of the part number designates that it is in fact a 91 Ford part number.

its a year 1991 part number...

So that must mean that it is not the original module since it was in a 1993...so it's been replaced before...Is that correct thinking>?//

The 91 (F1) part # reference is an engineering number.
That was the year it was modified either in a major or minor way.
This part was original design most likely in 1985 or 1986
If that part never changes again it will be found in every Ford application up to say... 1995.
It works the same way retro.
If a part was redesigned in 1995 it could be usable back to 1986 or 1990.
I had a module with a 89 (E9) engineering number as well.
Both appeared the same so who knows why Ford reworked it.
It may have been as simple as a wire color change.
The part I sent you will work for your 1993.
Judging from your picture below, that is the one you removed from your car?

Tery's part seems to have been manufactured December 12, 1992 at the time stamped.

yes, Hi Kevin, the pic is the one from the car that runs only on high and won't turn off unless you disconnect the blower from this module, there's a lot of corrosion inside, I'm sure its the problem. I just today put in an eatc head that I got from fred, It works but two of the bulbs are out. I ordered a couple led lights to see if I can just put them in the sockets and have them light up, I'll try them in my other sho first, the one with all the rust. So far so good on that one. I found the coolant leak, stopped the stalling problem, replaced the hood support struts and am going to replace the busted up header panel, probably tomorrow with the one I got from a yard here. The sho that needs the BCModule is going in next week for water pump, timing belt, coil, wires and plugs, I could do the plugs and coil stuff, and in my better back days I could do the timing belt and pump too, but alas, the back and... we're supposed to get another ***@!! polar vortex and go back down to 20 or more below zero, no fun. Thanks for all your great information and sharing your knowledge. I like understanding all that stuff and history. I do think that this BCM has been replaced, the screws holding it in were different, one rusty for no apparent reason and there was a tiny piece of electrical tape on each hex screw head...why?? all I can guess is maybe to make it stick to/in the socket tighter when ya pull it out. Anyway, doesn't seem like something that they'd do from the factory, so my guess is that at some point the car got a used BCM from a yard or something...also a slightly bent corner of the ?cooling" fins that looks like it was pulled out or pushed in roughly in the past. I would expect the original module in the car to look fairly pristine, this one has dirt corrosion and maybe even grease/oil, like maybe it sat out in a junkyard for a while, or on a shelf in a salvage parts shed...
take care,
Terry
