If you send me yours I can get it rebuilt - is that what you need to do?

LH ECU? EZK ECU? Central Warning System? ABS? All these can be considered computers in some form - which do you need?

Sorry for not specifing, this is for LH
I am in Fairview NJ
I am very sure the computer is fried. I spent almost two days going through the alarm system and everything else... and it turns out to be the brain.
At this point my brain is feeling fried....
