the turbo actuator is not working correctly. i put it in a different van and it works fine. i also have a ignition switch that works when it wants to. i have a parts van that i tried taking the ECM and the ignition out and put in this one, but that did not work. it would unlock the doors, but i could not turn the key. the steering unlock wont disengage. my question is, if i take the steering out of the other van will it sink with the ECM and the ignition and take care of my problems or will i have to take out the abs computer and the airbag one as well?

Also, i have hooked this van up to a scan tool and it would not communicate until i manually entered the VIN number that is the first time i have ever had that with this scan tool.

Yes is does sound like you are having a communication problem which could be any of the computers on board, can you try swapping the other computers one at a time?

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.
