It just came to me in another thread. Sometimes the soldered connections break in the PCM. Why not pull off the cover and check to make sure the're all good.

If those pins are all OK then take the PCM apart and look for more broken soldered pins (GC but same as XJ):

Are you going to take the old one apart and see if it's fixable?
