Re: Swapping an ECU.

Also is there a difference between engine control unit (ECU) and electronic control unit (ECU) or are those the same thing in 1 part, because my engine seems to work fine but my electronics are bugged.

Example: Pulling my brake will turn on my highbeams at times, sometimes it won't.

I could see the headlights being an alarm problem but I'd think the deck would work, I ...

Re: Swapping an ECU.

Thanks, I'm guessing this 'easy' job is going to be difficult for me without pictures but it's still not worth paying mazda $150 to do it.

So once I plug the new one in I can just start the car up like normal and everything should be fine?

Lastly, does the problems I meantioned headlights turn on ...
