It has been years since had to replace pcm but you can go to Ford F150.net, instructions for program a new PATS key and follow the steps. Instructions cross over for other FORD vehicles as well.
Hello, If you can do plumbing it is not difficult. You may need the help of a small tube bending tool if you buy straight line. You would need to remove the current line, catch the brake fluid, and then take the old line to the Autoparts store.
The Autoparts store may be able to reshape a new line for you. Call ahead to ask if they can do this service. The ends of the new line may or may not have the correct size fittings, so attention to detail is important. The fittings can be purchased separately.
There is "bulk" line in coils which have to be fitted with the end fittings. To install AUTOMOTIVE type fittings, you need a flaring tool capable of what is called a double inverted flair. Not all flaring kits have this improved shaping capability.
You may try Ford to buy a preformed brakeline. They may have it, but Ford stopped stocking stuff like this so when backstock is gone, you will need to custom make the line as I described. The Autoparts stores do have some aftermarket brakelines, usually the type with rubber hoses crimped into an assembly. The entire brakeline assembly has several jointed sections so it keeps the replacement costs down.
The last bit of advice I have is the hanger system Ford uses. At various sections, the joint between two separate pieces is part of one line or the other. Ford uses "C" clips to position the lines when they go through any mounting bracket. The brakeline may have a machined surface to accomodate the clip. So what I am struggling to say is the brakeline may be harder to remove than just by unscrewing a fitting. The line may be clipped to a mounting bracket.
If you don't receive an answer in short order, I recommend you invest in a service manual for your vehicle.
We have one that belongs to each of ours and they will often earn their cost after the first use.
I prefer Haynes over Chilton (they belong to the same publisher) and you can get one here:
Ford Taurus Manual
or, after copying the publication's number you can shop them elsewhere.
If you tap it in yourself, which sould be simple depending on the location, the plug will cost you a couple of dollars. You can also put in a rubber expandable plug that you can tighten with a wrench. Your local auto parts store will be able to help you decide which one would be best for you but the actual plug is very inexpensive.
It has to be replaced. If its front new break hose that runs from hard line to caliper. If rear from caliper to block on rear axel. If main line from front of car at perporationing valve back to block on rear axel.
