Replacing the ACM without Removing the Dash

[minotaurus]

Inspired by your work i did removal of ACM module in my Mustang mach-e GT 2022 by myself. My car is still under warranty and repair/exchange of ACM is covered by warranty but when Ford dealer told me that probably they will have to remove entire dashboard to do that I decided to remove it myself at home and just have them connect and program new unit. I did notice that there are some steps in disassembly that are not necessary:

1. It is not necessary to bend and tie any plastic brackets - after removing 4 nuts that hold ACM in place, you can move it to the left (to drivers side) and than first unscrew left ACM bracket from ACM body and later right side ACM bracket. When you move entire unit to the left, than there is space enough to slip hand with wrench into the gap without anything on the way. I did not unplug any cabels from BCM, bent and tie any plastics or anything of sort.

2. You do not need to remove gas pedal to pull ACM out - there is space enough to do it under gas pedal

Nice Follow up! Qapla!


Half of the battle is proving something can be done. For years, the four-minute mile was treated as a near-impossible barrier, more psychological than physical, until Roger Bannister broke it in 1954 with a time of 3:59.4. Once he showed it was possible, others soon followed, proving that limits often hold because people believe in them. The four-minute mile remains a powerful reminder that breakthroughs do not just change records; they change what people think they are capable of achieving.
