Body Control Module

I have a 99 Vette and was told by the dealer that my BCM lost its programming and needs to be replaced. I asked them to reprogrammed it, but was told that the BCM can not be reprogramed or reset. Is this true?

Hi,
I have a question, did you purchase a new BMC and if so did you reprogram
the new unit? Also what part number did you purchase? Did it correct your
problem---What was the problem???

Thanks. Redcars

The dealer did it for me. The new BCM fixed all my problems, the dealer are the only one who can reprogram the BCM. You can get a new BCM from GMDIRECT.com for a little over a $100.00 them take it to the dealer to be reprogram. A new BCM fron the deales is $350.00

Just a quick note. In checking C5 items on Ebay a few days ago I noticed a used BCM for sale @ $45.00 think it was from a 2000.

I would not buy a used one. WWW.gmdirect.com has them and its worth the peace of mine. Just contact gmdirect and tell them what year and they will e-mail you a price and a part number. It's what i did after the fact. Had I did this frist I could have saved alot of money.:cool

Thanks to both Robert 5168 and Too Tall for your help. I will do a little more checking
before acutually purchasing the BCM. I will email GM Direct for price and availibity.
By the way what part number did the dealer use? I was told today the BCM is a
(plug and play) unit??? I wonder if a tech II is is the only tester on the market to check this type of problem?? Anyone have information on this?
Tkanks, Redcars

As far as I know the Tech 2 is the only way to interface with the BCM, but it won't do you any good to go out and by one; you need the codes to go with it and GM guard them like a farmer with a virgin daughter. I use Auto Tap to do diagnostic on my car. Its alot cheaper than a Tech 2 and does the samething except program the BCM. I was trying to buy a Tech2 but it's not worth the money without the code to program the BCM. You're welcome and good luck

BCM MODual

I think I have a bad BCM modual in my 2003 Z-06 vette. I tried looking up the GMDIRECT.COM and only got a gm car dealership. Do you have more info on them and maybe a phone number.

I have a 1992 and I need to know how to take it out ? took mine to a GM dealer and got it back with a broken turn signal lever
I was told they only had the right side apart and I drive with hand controls and they messed them up so bad I couldn't close the door without taking the nob off

the dealer saysit's on the right side this is what the service manual says BCM - Mounts behind radio control head - Accessible under left dash - Remove lower dash panels below steering column & left console trim & side access plate .
sorry for the big red letters
I called the BBB
