     No support for the FEM (front electronic module) with the 908P? It's strange because the REM (rear electronic module) and the GEM (generic electronic module) are both covered.
     And just my luck, I need to work on the FEM module. It most likely will need replaced and I doubt the the J box will program it.

     Maybe try manual entry of 02 Ford Thunderbird , as a Lincoln LS , or even  a Jaguar S might establish communication with it ?

     I'll give that a try Wits. I'll let you know what happens. I may just use my buddy's IDS. That module costs $800 and I don't want to chance anything going wrong. I would hate to brick the module!

     I just scanned a 2002 Thunderbird and think Autel  just mis identified the FEM (Front Electronics module) as the GEM (Generic Electronics module). After Ford added the Rear Electronics module REM to newer vehicles , the GEM module name was changed to the Front Electronics module.

     Guess what Wits, I used an IDS on that car and the IDS didn't list the FEM either! They called it a GEM module in the IDS too. I guess it's not Autel's fault if Ford can't getit straight with their own tool!
