Because the steering columns are on opposite sides, meaning the harness from the ecu connects to the other side. And the fuse block is on the drives side.

if it's the old school "black box" version.

then yes, you NEED a factory ECU.



that one was made to be a piggyback controller. as every f-con since then has been (except for the ProV)
