Will This Fix My Problem?
Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.
Fixes:
- No headlights, turn signals, or interior lights working
- Windows / mirrors / wipers dead
- Cluster shows "FRM" or "Footwell Module" fault
- INPA shows no communication with FRM
- Module bricked after battery disconnect or coding attempt
Won't fix:
- Physical board damage from water or impact
- F-chassis FBD (Body Domain Controller) — different module
- Wiring or switch faults (we repair the module only)
