Car still starts all i need is a new bcm. The question I have is when I get the new BCM, will it need to be reprogrammed for my set of keys.

 

ECM stores the key code

 

now the bcm controls headlights windows alarm and door locks correct. The only thing i noticed is that to get my headlights to come on is to unplug the bcm. Could u possibly provide me with details of the bcms' job

 

My 350z was recently flooded out in a rain storm. I have stripped the interior and got all moisture out of the car. The only noticeable problem was the BCM. What else should i have checked out or check out. Everything works fine with the new BCM but is there any other things i should have checked out. The water was as high as the seats inside the car. Engine didnt take on any water. I wasnt about to start it and try to move it, water was already too high....

 

please any suggestions....

 

no suggestion. did you take any pics when it was flooded?

 

Probably need to disassemble the intake system, the manifolds, drain the exhaust, etc. The car may always have gremlins after that. Maybe rust, if the water had salt in it.

 

no salt water thank god, exhaust and intake manifold is all good and dry, i did pull all wiring harnesses from the car and made sure all connectors were dry as well. think im going to drain all fluids tomorrow including oil just for safety measure.. No check engine light at all neither

 

yea i did, looks like the car was pulled from a river lol

 

sorry to hear. still interested in seeing pics though

 

will post them tomorrow, if u wanna see a pic of the car under water, face book

will do after work. insurance covering it?
also good job of having a good attitude about this. i'd probably boycott water if this happened to me.

 

insurance wanted to total it out, all it needed was a bcm and good detailing. So i cancelled the claim

 

From the FSM...

 

thank you very much, ....

 

should have let them total it imo. and start over..u will probably end up with electical issues if it was really flooded..good luck

also your resale value will now suck

 

had to have the bcm programmed to the keys, according to dealer, BCM holds the key code....

 

From firsthand experience, I'd recommend removing the battery and tray to see if water got trapped underneath. I had this happen to mine after the car sat nose up on a hill for a week of heavy rain. Caused a lot of problems. Pull the cover off the IPDM and check for water intrusion. If so, disconnect battery and spray electrical contacts with 'electric parts cleaner and add some diletic (sp?) grease.
