BCM

Marcus93 · 11-07-2009, 10:58 AM

Well, I was trying to do the DIY LED Dome Light Mod http://my350z.com/forum/body-interio...ml#post7903070, and I guess I shorted out something in the BCM. Can somebody elaborate a little more on what I did. Also, could somebody be more specific on what parts I need to replace, or would it be better to just replace the BCM completely? Any advice on this would be very appreciated!

It's a little late now, but I guess you worked on it with the battery still connected, right?

As the other post suggests, check fuses first.

What works and what doesn't work in the car? The BCM controls a lot of things - wipers, door locks, windows, turn signals, remote keyless entry, defroster, all lighting, A/C, etc.

It's relatively easy to damage - all you have to do is short something or run power into a connection it's not supposed to go. It's like the ECU, nothing but electronics.

Everything in the car works except the vanity mirror lights and the dome lights.I checked the other fuse box behind the battery already,everything's good in that one too. But, yeah I didn't take off the negative on the battery, I didn't think the dome light would be something that major that I needed to do it. I guess from now on I'll do it for everything just in case.
