'95 parting out - Will these work ? What are they ?

[prginocx]

Any I found a '94 pathy wrecked parting out on CL so I went to look at it...Mine is a '95 but most important this '94 had the same interior color scheme ( Light blue ). Immediately I was stoked 'cause the front seats had only minor wear and mine have cigarette burns which I hate......I wanted front seats, rear tail lights, brake lamp atop the rear hatch, and the window washer fluid reservoir ( mine is leaking slow )...

 

So anyway I took everything off I wanted, piled it all on the bed of my pickup and then got the guy ( Heavy Russian Accent ) to do a deal, he wanted $150 and I finally got him down to $100, then pretended to only have $96 by taking all the money plus ones and coin change out of my pockets... [ Insert grin here ]

 

When I removed the front seats, there was a small electronic module under the driver seat, like maybe 4" X 5"...There was a larger one under the Passenger seat....I put them both in the pile.

 

What are these modules ? Will they work in my '95 ? Do they ever fail ? Could I use them for troubleshooting ? The major differences between the two vehicles is that mine is a stick, while the part out was an auto...Other than that they seemed the same...

 

 

P.S. On an unrelated note, I recently had my timing belt/water pump done...And now I have a slow oil leak. I'm having a hard time nailing down the leak source. Help ?

The module under the driver's side seat was most likely the ABS computer. The one under the passenger seat is the ECU. They should both work fine for you, as long as they were from an Automatic transmission equipped truck. (Auto ECU's can be installed in either Auto, or Manual trucks. Manual ECU's only work in Manual trucks) I'm 99.9% sure there was little to no difference in the ECU programming between 94 and 95 trucks.
