The engine computer on my wifes car needs to be replaced and I was wondering if I found one at a junk yard, off another breeze, would it work? We cannot afford to buy a new one then pay 75 dollars an hour to have the local Chrysler dealership program it and install it. Any help will be greatly appreciated

thank you

Suggested Repair

Cross-reference the donor vehicle VIN with the 1999 Plymouth Breeze VIN to confirm a used engine computer is compatible before installation. Some salvage yards may be able to help with that matching.

Conversation Summary

The owner asked whether a junkyard engine computer from another Plymouth Breeze would work on a 1999 Breeze, hoping to avoid the cost of a new unit and dealership programming. The expert advised cross-referencing VIN numbers to confirm compatibility and noted that some salvage yards may help. The owner later said the yards lacked the needed information, the dealership was not helpful, and an attempted repair of the original computer failed, so the issue remained unresolved.
