Anyone replaced their Body Control Module?

Mine seems to have stopped working correctly, I have been told it's a main dealer job, but seem to remember someone here doing it themselves.
Any advice welcome, I will bore you with the details later if you can't get to sleep . . .
Thanks.

Glen............

and I've just came off my weeks nightshift or you could've told me all night

[Red Stoat]

HAHA thanks RBH, I will message him.

spill the beans, whats going on?

[Red Stoat]

OH, that was quick. My BCM played up a while ago, and I had the DRLs disconnected. This was fine until tonight, when the main beam stayed on, and could not be turned off. It looks like I have to get it sorted, and would appreciate any info you have. Thanks.

[plasma]

yes I can do BCMs, and no they dont need to be new..

[Red Stoat]

Sounds good. I will PM you if you prefer. You will have to tell me how it will work (posting BCM, telling the ECU etc)

[Red Stoat]

OK I need the part number of my BCM. Got the glovebox out, fusebox out of the way, and the bottom three connectors undone, but the top four have me stumped. Anyone know if there is a nack?

snip the cable tie on them... this give enough movement on the wire to get a screwdriver in to hit the release clip

[Red Stoat]

Thanks for that, I am struggling to see everything, and my knee is telling me not to crawl about in cars. I was sure there was a release clip, but still struggling to find it.

[plasma]

its in exactly the same place but hidden by the cables

[Red Stoat]

Cheers, will have another go in the morning.
