Electronics repair shop needed

I would suspect that the Ford FICM repair is a bit less on the hazardous side, basically the FICM fails engine quits and you pull over.
Brakes quit, however, is a whole different hazard issue.
Kind of doubt the EBay FICM repair is going to have any warranty or guarantees and would be pretty difficult to nail down in case of a lawsuit.
EBayers come and go like the fog mist in the morning goes.. They sell bad items, misrepresent items and get a bad rap and they simply disappear with no trace and restart with a new seller name and start the process all over.
I would not wish to bet my life on anything bought through Ebay..
Small Mom and Pop shops are few and far between and everyone that brings something in EXPECTS some sort of warranty on the repair, those shops depend on good reputation for good quality work at a reasonable price. Most have shuttered and the ones that may still be standing fix things more by replacing modules rather than trouble shooting.. And heck even modern TVs, there is no manufacturer support or parts, once that model is no longer made, all the parts dry up and you have to depend on folks scavenging and reselling used modules.
Might be some industrial electronic repair shops but they most likely will not be willing to take time for looking at consumer level equipment.
