I need a new (used) computer (A/C problems)

I second guessed the shop that diagnosed my AC compressor as being bad and took it into another shop for a second opinion.
The guys there were real cool,, and let me watch while the trobleshooted, turns out there were two wires that were shorting out on each other near the compressor. After fixing them and testing the relays and switches, they bypassed the computer and my AC worked perfect. I was told that the wires shorting burned out that part of the PCM, and my coolant fans also. Result:
I need a PCM off of a 94 formula M6 preferrably, I was told other ones will work but will have to be flashed at the dealership. If anyone has one pls email!

Sometimes it is necessary to reset the pcm after working on the a/c system. Find the PCM BATT fuse and pull it out, wait 10 seconds and put it back in. No cost for you to try that.

It would also be interesting to see if a scan tool showed that the a/c was requested when you actually turn it on.

Before spending money on a new PCM, you could take it to a dealership or a friend who has a GM Tech tool and have them request the fans to kick on. If they don't, then those drivers are indeed fried. Also don't forget to reset the PCM like shoebox mentioned.

If all else fails, I sell PCMs and I can preprogram them with the latest flash for your car just like a dealership.
