Removing a pin from a PCM connector on a 2005 F150 requires careful attention to detail and the use of the correct tools. The PCM, or powertrain control module, is a vital component of the vehicle’s engine management system, and its connectors must be properly maintained to ensure optimal performance.
The PCM connector is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, near the firewall. It is a large, rectangular connector with multiple rows of pins. To remove a pin from the connector, you will need a small pick or awl, as well as a pair of needle-nose pliers.
