Computer brain I'm told the EPROM on my 1994 Jimmy is bad and that I could only get this part from the dealership. I called a dealership and they said the part was discontinued. I found a "computer brain box" at a pull-a-part and was wondering if changing the whole computer would fix this issue and if not would this "computer brain box" contain the EPROM?

Hello;
I woould look at the differentials and see if the gears are ok. You could have a bearing going out in one or both differentials. Most likely case is the rear diff. Also check the u joints for wear. Hope this helps.
Thanks;

SOURCE: i lost my factory keyless and alarm remote 1994

that doesnt sound right, they should be carrying parts for at least 20 years worth of vehicles. try another dealer. you should be able to give them your vin and they should be able to produce some keys and key fobs.

What's an IPDM in a 94 Nissan Pathfinder and where would it be located?

NO PROBLEM told, just a silly hunt game.
NO such part existed in 1994 ever, 2004 up yes, 1994 NO!
so the hunt ends now. NO IPDM THERE.
No engine size told.OF 4 OR MORE NO VIN.(USA?)

Nissan's Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM)
like our USA cars we call ours BCM body computer.

the service manual covers that, all that an everything else too,
On old cars is it PDM (no i,no intelligent brain)<< or fuse box under hood.
On newer cars IPDM same place but has brain, inside.
we could call it the smart engine bay fuse box. SEBFB)

so let me guess the internet dweebs told you look in the IDPM
and their ignorance, failed the make them say DPM,(no i)
they meant FUSE BOX under hood.
cars as class of things own , have 2 or 4 or more fuse boxs
the users guide, in the glove box has that. if not lost, get one for free googled>?
the engine fuse box is non the hood up right front fender back side.

Replaced brain box,but still wont start

the number on the pcm has to match and you will need to swap the eprom out from the old one to the new one. open the unit and you will see a rectangular eprom simply lift it out and make sure it gose back in the same direction usually a small white dot in one corner to indicate pin 1

Insturments not working 2000 jimmy

Check all your fuses.
Check all you charges (batteries, cigarrete lighter, radio)
is that works.
Then
You have a brain problem.
It's been a while seen I have seen a Jimmy, but they have a relay switch to the brain, and OUT or the brain.
Sometimes, things just Die.
I don't know the check for the brain, but it is available in a Haynes book ($30)

I've been told that I need to take my 1998 Ford Taurus to the Ford dealership to have the computer reprogrammed or completely replaced. How do I go about doing that and how much does it usually cost?

your question is a good one because part of what you have been told is right, and the other part is not. First of all yes it is true that you most likely will need to take your car to the dealership to have your computer reprogrammed if that is what your desire. However, the dealership will charge you dearly for this procedure. Your best and cheapest option would be to go to your local automotive salvage yard and simply get a good used computer. In order to insure that you get the right one you will need to provide them with your vehicles V.I.N. number. I hope this helps you out.

My jimmy will not start. I replace the fuel pump and filter. I have presure in the gas line and there is no gas in the return line. I sprayed starting fluid and its starts and shuts down.

Check or replace your ICM (ignition control module) The ICM or the Ignition Control Module, is the brains behind the spark plugs. The ICM tells the spark plugs when to fire and lets the engine know when gas needs to be injected for proper engine ignition. Sometimes if your ICM is out or going bad, you may be able to start your motor up nicely once and then when you turn it off it may not start back up. It can also make you feel like your engine shake and "sputter" bad.
Start with the ICM and thank you for using Fixya, good luck
