CHEAP/QUICK solution for bad FRM/ footwell module

So I fried my frm because I put on a battery tender abd started the car with it attached ( live n learn ).
you will know forsure you fried your frm if all a sudden after you've disconnected your battery and go to power on the car. If your windows don't roll up , dome light wont work , no tailights and only 1x headlight works and the setvice now ( car on the lift light ) is atuck on your cluster. Your frm/footwell module is fried.
after mine fried it sent me into a panic because I had a busy week coming up and needed my car but couldn't afford a replacement and coding for it.
LUCKILY I found a seller on ebay that rebuilds our frm's alpng woth numerous other body modules and ecu's for VERY cheap and very quick turn around times.
I sent in my frm and had it back in my car in 9x days ( weekend and 1x holiday or it havd been sooner).
once I plugged it back in , wouldnt chya know it ? THE CAR is back to life again !!!!!
the sellers name on eBay is Speedy Repair Service (963)
and here's a link to the ad I used to purchase my frm repair service..
hopefully this helps someone out because this can be a head ache. Lol I spent 4x hours diagnosing until on a humbug watching youtube i found out it was my frm causing the above listed issues..
Goodluck guys , stay safe N motor on !!!

$60 seems like a reasonably priced service.
