A fellow So Cal Prowler member was telling me there is a post somewhere on this board where you can send in your Prowler Computer and he repairs them for $ 125.00 and also advertises his repair of computers on E Bay. Has anyone seen this article as I cannot find it ? |

This sounds like a fantastic deal, Has anyone sent one in , and if so, what was the outcome ? Hopefully this could be the answer to our problems. I have checked the Better Business Bureau and have not found any negative items posted for this company. This seller has over 17,ooo sales with a 100% rating. Does anyone have a computer that they could send in to see if we have a company that can now fix them at a very reasonable price ???????? Also thanks guys for finding this for me as I had looked all over the postings and did not see this This message has been edited by phil2237 on 01-27-2017 at 09:17 AM |

I have a PCM failure and contacted this Ebay site concerning repairing my PCM with a P601 code.They advised me that sometimes a bad battery or battery connection can be the problem. However, they advised that the P601 code probably can not be repaired and needs to be replaced. I did not send the unit to them, but based on their honest response, owners with other code failures might utilize their service. Hoping that someone can convince Chrysler to make some spare PCMs to keep our Prowlers running.

From the Ebay ad http://www.ebay.com/itm/192044086228 New message from: your_part_source (17,444) The P0601 code usually means one of two things. The first cause is an issue with the battery or the connection to the battery. The second issue is a bad processor in the ecu. Unfortunately, this is not something we can repair. If you let us know your part number we can check our inventory to see if we have the item in stock. We hope this information is helpful. Thanks again.

P0601 fault codes are very fixable. You just have to get it to the right person. It usually ends up being a checksum error. The computer is looking for xx blocks of memory and for some reason finds y. Usually an IC on the board is bad and once replaced returns to being functional. There are a few places out there that can do it, usually an exchange place through a Chrysler dealer should be able to. Its like a United Radio kind of thing. |

I sent a message to the above seller and this morning I received his reply that they are unable to reprogram the prom for the Prowler Computer. Maybe CJ or Bob could find out from Chrysler as to who made the computer for our cars and if they are willing to repair them |

Hopefully they can fix Prowler computers, but I'm not hopefull. The ones I've talked to said Chrysler did something to Prowler computers that won't let them work on them, plus local member here sent theirs to one who said they could fix it, but sent it back saying they could not. It might have something to do with Chrysler trying to get as much performance out of car as possible. You can not tune or put chip in Prowler computer either. I had same code(P0601 internal comp failure) in my PT Computer, Pt ran fine, but I needed light out to pass Md. Emissions. Sent it away to one in Florida for exchange $159 including shipping both ways. Plugged it in to Pt, worked great, no problems at all.

I talked to SIA this morning and they DO NOT FIX the processor which is what code PO601 is. They gave me a phone number in Florida for a company called Auto Computer Specialist. They gave me the same answer as SIA as they do not repair them with that code. If any one has a shop in their area , please give them a call, as I have talked to about 10 places now, and not one will touch it with that code. As per SIA, they are not the ones who made the computer for Chrysler Prowler. There has to be someplace that will do these repairs, we just have to find it |

I received a call back today from Chrysler. They send all their computers in for repair to HOT CAR ACCESSORIES in Spring Hill Florida. Turns out this is ALSO The Prowler Store. They can fix the computers and also can upgrade the computers to add up to 35 HP more than what we have now for an additional charge. Chrysler claims Hot Car Accessories have their own techs that do the repair. The prices vary by year , and are very expensive, but it looks to be the only place where they are available or can be repaired or upgraded. At least we won't be stuck with a car that needs a computer and have a supplier that can repair them This message has been edited by phil2237 on 02-03-2017 at 06:41 PM |

Over the last several days, I have learned quite a bit of information about our Prowler Computers. Almost every shop I did talk to has told me that (((YOU MUST MAINTAIN A MINIMUM OF 12 VOLTS)))) to the computer, This means , even though your Prowler is sitting for the winter, You are best to have a trickle charger on it at all times when you are not using it. And also for those that have old batteries....Change them out, as if the processor does not maintain 12 volts, it can and will destroys it. Many shops have told me if you crank over a Prowler with a low battery, chances are damage can occur to any of the computer processors that are in our cars. Even if the car is sitting for a while, and the battery should go dead, You can possibly do a lot of damage. I hope this helps members here as these computers are not cheap if you need to replace them. Best to be safe than sorry. |

Totally agree with your observation Phil about tenders. It would be interesting if we could somehow compile data from Prowler owners that had a PCM go bad. Did there battery go dead,,, did it sit for a period of time,,, was there a short of some kind at some point,, does salt air have an affect?? My opinion is there is something that happens for a PCM to fail. I could be wrong but obtaining some facts from owners might spread more light on the issue. I have a 99 and the previous owner always had the battery on a tender. I have continued as well. I also have many equipment batteries that I remove from equipment at the end of the season,, put them on a shelf in my shop and trickle charge them often over the winter. Cold is not good for batteries. |
