New weird issue

those ECMs do have temp related failures , Fords and everyone elses did too. It cant make a grinding noise.
The ballast resistor cannot come and go. It will get extremely hot though. Thats why its cased in ceramic.If a resistor burns in two it cant fix itself.

Ok so my theory is correct. If I can get it started if the ECM gets HOT to the touch I can take a guess it went bad. The grinding I am not sure is directly related I still think it may be my emergency brake line scrubbing on the driveshaft. Not totally sure though.
