OEM Part (Rebuilt or Remanufactured):
OEM Part (Rebuilt or Remanufactured):
We offer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) control modules that are rebuilt or remanufactured by us or trusted third parties. Each module is visually inspected, and we replace or upgrade components to prevent common failures specific to each type of computer. Unlike used parts from unknown sources, which may be near the end of their lifespan and prone to early failure, our remanufactured modules are thoroughly tested for quality and performance. These parts come with a warranty, and if they fail, you won't have to pay for reprogramming again, saving you both time and money in the long run.
How It Works:
How It Works:
To program our part, we require the customer to ship the original faulty core to us. We will extract the original programming and coding files, including the VIN, mileage, key synchronization codes, and other important calibration data, and transfer them to our ECU, making it identical to your original unit. Your original ECU will be recycled for parts at our facility, and you will receive a fully functional, plug-and-play ECU, complete with warranty.

Symptoms of a Failing Front SAM Module
The Front SAM (Signal Acquisition Module) in a W204 typically oversees functions like the front lights (headlights, fog lights, turn signals), windshield wipers, horn, washer pump, and certain engine bay sensors (e.g., coolant level, outside temperature). When it fails, symptoms can be erratic or clustered due to its role in controlling multiple systems. Below are the most common issues:
Lighting Malfunctions
- Headlights (especially low beams) or fog lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all.
- Turn signals failing or operating dimly, sometimes accompanied by a faint clicking sound from relays.
- Daytime running lights or side markers not functioning.
Wiper and Washer Problems
- Windshield wipers refusing to turn on, getting stuck mid-cycle, or running continuously even when switched off.
- Washer pump either not working or staying on until a fuse is pulled.
Horn Issues
- Horn not sounding, cutting out intermittently, or producing a weak noise due to disrupted signal routing.
False Warning Messages
- Dashboard alerts like “Low Coolant” or “Check Washer Fluid” appearing despite proper levels, due to the SAM misreading sensor data.
- ABS, ESP, or other system warnings triggered by communication errors between the SAM and other control units.
Battery Drain
- A defective front SAM can cause parasitic draw, draining the battery overnight or within days if the car sits unused. This happens if relays stay engaged or circuits remain powered.
Air Conditioning Anomalies
- In some cases, a failing front SAM can lead to the AC blowing only cold air (or not working), though this is less common and often tied to a faulty water valve misdiagnosed as a SAM issue.
Intermittent or Total Loss of Functions
- Multiple systems tied to the front SAM (e.g., wipers, lights, horn) failing simultaneously or inconsistently, which points to a central point of failure.
