Please note: PATS-equipped vehicles only (Ranger: 1999-2000 6-cylinder; 4-cyl Rangers had no PATS until 2001). 1998 Mustangs split on build date: this is the 4-pin unit used from 3/25/98 — earlier 1998 Mustangs use the 6-pin F8ZZ-15607-AB. Same service family as YW1T-15607-AA (F8SZ-15607-AA → YW1Z-15607-AA → YW1Z-15607-BA); the fitment listed here follows that terminal number, which supersedes this stamp and covers the whole family, Super Duty included. Does NOT fit 2003+ (3W1Z family) or 1996-97 Mustang. No key programming needed. Matching the part number on your original unit’s label is the zero-risk path — message us your VIN or label number and we’ll verify.
