Default idpm replacement

I am having trouble with my fans not operating.
I have checked the fans and both work fine when powered up
I have checked all fuses and tested all I can.
I feel it is a faulty relay but they are non replaceable on the idpm board.
I can pick up a known good one.
But some say it will need reprogramming
I can get one from the same year and from a auto trans as mine so do I still need to take it to a dealer to be reprogrammed!
and if so why?

Don't have any idea on reprogramming for an IPDM, but I'd question whether it needs to be replaced. Have you had any electrical surge issues or water intrusion that makes such a failure likely? IPDM failures have not been a regular problem with Z33s.

Are there any codes being thrown to indicate an IPDM failure?

Any kind of IPDM problems are usually serious ones. If you've checked the simple things like fuses and connections, and you are still getting codes involving multiple IPDM related codes, it's time to get a ctory tech involved. Throwing various parts at a problem is definitely NOT a solution.

It says something when the OP on this thread still hasn't posted any updates on his IPDM issues.
