Body control module
I'm a returning member to this board, having been unable to devote the time because of personal issues. I have a question: I'm pre-emptively looking for a BCM because my front side markers (both) suddenly stopped working. The driver's side seat heater just stopped working a week ago but I know that's a separate issue. Since that module (BCM) is used in a number of GM products why is it so hard to find one? Doesn't anybody offer a rebuild service? Let's face it: I also have a Honda S2000 and even Honda is re-offering parts for that car! What's wrong with GM? With the number of Corvettes/GM cars out there that use this part why doesn't there seem to be an aftermarket manufacturer? If I go back to the stealership to get it reprogrammed which I'll have to, can they get one for me? I have a 2007 base C6 3LT auto Lemans Blue.

Haven't personally dealt with this company, but it's worth a try to see what they have or could possibly do with your BCM. Good luck, let us know what you find out...

Based on your description of the problems, I think it is quite unlikely that your BCM went bad. Simple open connections will cause the issues you describe, and that happens quite a bit more frequently than a BCM failure. Take your car to someone who is skilled in electrical troubleshooting, and he will fix it for you.

I have to take the car to my mechanic anyway to get it fixed because I have health issues that limit me to little more than just driving and enjoying my baby. I'm just OCD when it comes to my car because I'd rather have a spare part and not need it instead of needing a part and scrambling to find a replacement. I will let all of you know what happens! THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP! BTW, my car is a daily driver with 99,700 miles on it. I have an SUV for bad weather here in NJ but since I have no attachments anymore I enjoy driving my car. And you know what's funny? Although I live in an area where BMWs, Mercedes and Teslas abound, I see people looking at the Corvette. The Honda while fun to drive is more of a good weather, top down type of driver. I'm not young anymore so I'm not like some people who drive with the top down in the dead of winter, risking catching pneumonia. My Vette has a targa top, it's not a convertible.
