Was replacing capacitors and noticed a blown out leg on this 8 pin chip. Anyone know where I can get the correct replacement? I looked online and found 8 pin chips but not sure if I need a specific one with certain specs.
First let me say, that's a pretty fair cost for the repair.![]()

First let me say, that's a pretty fair cost for the repair.
But even if the computer passes the tests they should know what the common failure points are and just fix them.
I deal with a lot of circuit boards for other hobbies and pretty much all of them can get some preventive maintenance.
At a minimum the caps should be replaced. But i'm sure they know other issues they can stop before they happen.
If i were to send one there, just bill me the whole $150 and do the caps.

Looks like ford shopped multiple vendors. Some are Motorola, and some are Texas Instruments (post #2)
Let me see if Motorola has any info.
