Noob here

I just got a call from my electrician saying that I need a new ECU to solve my AC not working problem. The pin that is commanding the AC is broken because of corrosion, he said.
I have a 2008 1.5 dci Jimny. I searched the web and I found out that the ECU is a DELPHI DCM1.2 that is used on many Renault engines. The engine in my Jimny is Renault too.
Do you have any idea if I need the exact ECU or any DELPHI DCM1.2 will work? I can find very few that are of Jimny origin.
Thanks!

Being a diesel I assume you are in mainland Europe. Unless you are somewhere in the south I would be tempted to live without the ac if that's all that isn't working

Sounds like it would be much easier to fix the broken pin with a bypass or a replacement pin, or to give the ECU or the ac the signal it needs to get the ac going.

This is how I would deal with it - it might not be possible to replace a single pin in a multi-pin connector, but a "flying lead" with a butt connector should be possible.

I've done this type of work on a Mitsubishi I once owned - the body control module on this particular model did not have two inputs required for an after-market alarm to control the power locks, the circuitry was there but the pins were never fitted - I added two six inch long leads, reassembled the module & re-installed it and then connected them to the alarm.
