IRCM availability, or newer part number?

Does anyone know if there is a newer part number for the E9SF-12B577-AA super coupe IRCM? This is the relay module that is mounted behind the passenger headlight. It controls the air conditioner compressor and the radiator fan.

The main problem with these is just the three relays inside. The relay part number itself is Siemens V23134-b52-x57 (FORD #E8DF-14A640-AA) which is a 12 volt 40 amp, 4 post relay soldered to the PC board.

If anyone has access to new relays I can repair and test the IRCM.

If your a/c compressor suddenly quits after a while, then comes back on, this is your problem. The relay will heat up and cut out, then come back when it cools.

anyone heard of Rock Auto rebuilding these IRCM's? They list it as custom order. So someone must have the relays, since that's really the only part that fails.

The F1SZ 12B577 A (stamped F1SF AA) from the 91-93 cars will also work on the 89-90. However they are no longer available from Ford as a new part either, but it gives you more range to look for a good used one.
