Are there ignition coils that have been melted?

Not sure what help I can offer but my 2006 V6 Fusion was one of the first I’ve heard with the melted ignition coil story. After putting in the new coils the PCM was still not sending any power to the coil packs, so I had it replaced; luckily while I was still under the powertrain warranty.

Why does the ignition coil keep burning down?

I didn’t check #1 and #3 because intake is still in place. Fluctuating voltages are good, but signal voltage is 0.4 at high signal, so each one is continuously firing the coil pack and melting them down. I also checked the ECU to make sure it had proper voltage, It had 12V on cable at pins 119, 120 and 7v at pin 109.

How long does it take to replace Ignition coils?

The dealer determined that the car needs to have the TSB applied and that it is under warranty, so that will include replacement of the PCM, all coil packs and the plugs. That’s the good news! The bad news is that the PCM is back-ordered and it may take two weeks to get it.

What are the voltages on the ignition coil?

I plugged in power cable to ECU, and found voltages on pins 60, 61, 62, 79, 80 and 81, similar to voltages I found at the coil pack connector. The ECU is trash, so I pried it open being careful to cut away the silicone sealant so I didn’t have to pry too much.

Are there any Ford trucks with melted coils?

The same pcm/coil pack issues occurred on some trucks so the tsb’s were similar. The dead hole #5 is what lead me to this forum. The issue persists. Fully aware of the procedure to replace, and reprogram a pcm… the dealer was very specifically instructed on what to do to the vehicle.
