automotive electronics

is there a market for boards from automotive electronics

I see that my yard has a category for them so im assuming yes, as for what they pay im clueless.

No way I need a better search button Then or was it answered after I posted

Am I reading the same. Forum. I just searched again.and no luck.

I don't remember seeing a post on them, just a post on equipment to test them.

Can someone post the thread this was posted in I read about 100 threads looking for it

thx Kris Kringle, ive thrown away several or scrapped em, calling them tomorrow :)

Never throw anything away till you check for value.

well thrown away is a loose term ive actually not been going to the trouble of taking them out, they been going to the shredder :)

If thier still good you should be able to sell them on e-bay

Did anybody find the thread or was that guy just being a dink. I've got a PILE of automobile ECM's sitting around.

I just sold a GM after I pulled the board out of the alum housing, it still leaves a chunk of alum. around the pins but they take it. They threw it in one of my bigger piles, I think m.b. but I'll have to check with Computerscrapper to be sure. I know he does not like Fords cause the case is filled with solid tar and you can't remove it, and the buyers don't like that. Also I heard there is gold contacts (or board) having to do with airbags, but that could get dangerous if one accidentally went off. Hope this helps some,,, On the GM board, I figure there's 2 lb of alum. left after removing the board. I think the lid is stainless but haven't spark tested it yet.

Wished it was good, 2006 Dodge Ram, Cummins diesel ECU for common rail injection system.


Lots of chips inside with gold plated pins on the outside.

What grade of board is m.b. or is that just a standard motherboard classification? If so, what do you get a pound for that grade?

The airbags won't go off as long as you take the battery out.

Are you talking about the Airbag module?

why not go ahead and blow them up if you do not e-bay them

That was just me cheating while typing, sorry it's motherboard but I don't remember if it was #1,#2, or#3, that's why I said I'll have to check with CS.
