I would try www.car-part.com for the computer IF you really need one. As
for the different options, there probably is only one type of body computer,
it is just what is enabled in it (I'm saying this because there is only one
listed in the interchange). Now, it may cost a bit for a dealer to hook a
DRB tool up to one to program it (I think that is what he means by reading
from the old one to the new one).
As for a battery cable, a salvage yard may be a good alternative to a
fabricated cable or the dealer price.
Good luck,

Subject: IML: 1990 imperial body computer ( HELP PLEASE)
OK, Mom's '90 imperial now shows the dreaded asterisk
in the digital dash where the odometer used to be
displayedafter the battery died( for no reason, and
the dealer can't find a draw). The Service manual says
I need a special tool to retrieve info from old body
computer to the new. Our friendly neighborhood dealer
says we need a new body computer and and positive
battery cable ( 200.00 for the cable!!!) he doesn't
know where to get the body computer,he thinks they may
be available "rebuilt" and furthermore for around
500.00 plus for install will NOT gaurentee it once he
puts it in. My Latest question is this, do any of you
have a source for these components? is the tool to
transfer the data redily available? or easy to
fashion? can I get an original styal positive battery
cable with all the plugs attached without having to
make it myself?
Please help!! matthew
