WHAT IS A TIPM?
TIPM stands for “Totally Integrated Power Module.” It is a computer module in a vehicle that manages and controls the power distribution and electrical functions in the vehicle. It is sometimes referred to as the “fuse box” or “power distribution center.” The TIPM is responsible for controlling and distributing power to various systems in the vehicle, such as the headlights, interior lights, wipers, and fuel pump. It may also contain circuits for other electrical components, such as the starter motor, alternator, and electronic control modules.
Do the letters at the end of the part number matter?
The two letters at the end are just a date stamp of when the part was built. All that matters are the actual digits for most vehicles. In some circumstances, they do matter for 2006 – 2011 Dodge Dakota, and Power Distribution Centers (PDCs) for 2014 and newer Chrysler 200, Pacifica & Jeep Cherokee Vehicles.

WHAT IS A VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)?
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code that is used to identify individual motor vehicles. It is typically composed of a combination of letters and numbers, and it is assigned to a vehicle when it is manufactured. The VIN is used to track and identify vehicles for various purposes, such as registration, insurance, and maintenance. It is usually located on the dashboard, on the driver’s side door jamb, or in the engine compartment of a vehicle. In some cases, it may also be found on the vehicle’s title or registration documents. The VIN can be used to determine a vehicle’s make, model, year, and other important information.
DO YOU NEED MY VIN#?
We only need your VIN if you purchase RVC (Restore Vehicle Configuration) add-on.
WHERE CAN I LOCATE MY VIN?
- You can typically find the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the dashboard of your vehicle, on the driver’s side door jamb, or in the engine compartment. The VIN is often etched into the metal of the vehicle and is visible through the windshield on the driver’s side. It may also be located on the vehicle’s title or registration documents.
If you are having trouble finding the VIN on your vehicle, you can try looking for it in the following places:
- On the dashboard: The VIN is often visible through the windshield on the driver’s side of the vehicle. It may be located on the dashboard near the base of the windshield or on the driver’s side of the dashboard.
- On the driver’s side door jamb: The VIN may be located on a metal plate or sticker on the driver’s side door jamb.
- In the engine compartment: The VIN may be located on a metal plate or sticker in the engine compartment, often near the firewall or on the top of the engine block.
- On the vehicle’s title or registration documents: The VIN may be listed on the vehicle’s title or registration documents.
If you are still unable to locate the VIN on your vehicle, you may want to refer to your owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
WHAT DOES "PROGRAMMED & UPDATED" MEAN?
“Programmed & updated” typically refers to the process of installing or modifying software or firmware on a device or system in order to add new features, fix bugs or issues, or improve performance. This process usually involves creating or modifying code and then uploading it to the device or system in question.
For example, a device that has been “programmed & updated” may have had new software or firmware installed on it, or the existing software or firmware may have been modified to add new features or fix issues. Similarly, a computer system that has been “programmed & updated” may have had new software installed or existing software modified in order to improve performance or add new features.
In general, “programming” refers to the process of writing or modifying code, while “updating” refers to the process of installing or uploading new or modified code to a device or system. The term “programmed & updated” is often used to describe devices and systems that have been modified or enhanced in some way through the installation or modification of software or firmware.
