Default TIPM failure, got a question

Diagnosed a lost trace within my fuse box. Is the unit its self minus the bolted on module programmed, or is it the module that's bolted on that's programmed? My module is working, it's commanding everything as it should. But a trace has left the chat within the box.

I found a replacement, same year, in like new condition, same model truck. I should just need to supply my own FCM right?

hey, you. Yeah, you, the guy googling his way here.

The answer is: Only the FCM (not the fuse block) is programmed. The fuse block is just a stupid circuit board, with no logic on it except three relays.

Anyway, here's some autopsy photos. Replacement unit is in and truck is fixed up.
