Should be able to order one from any of the GM parts suppliers. Suggest our forum parts suppliers. Probably not cheap.


Inquiring minds want to know: Why do you need one?

Wipers are inoperable, no voltage from the BCM

According to my tour guide during my delivery tour, it is the box, about the size of a shoe box, that is attached to the rear of the car, drivers side, under the black part of the facia...hope this helps...

The dealer handling your warranty replacement can't get one?

Your mods should not void your warranty on the BCM. Powertrain - Yes.

I assume you have checked Fuse #1 in the under hood fuse box? Also #'s 16, 18, 20, 54 and 56.


In the rear fuse box - #'s 7, 10, 15, 16 and 19.

The BCM is located in the passenger footwell, behind the carpet, where the feet are. The BCM is attached to the silver metal plate.

May be an old thread but we have two different locations being mentioned for the BCM. So, which one is it?

I know, I hijacked this thread. I went back and checked the fuses listed above. My specific question is how can you check the block fuses? 54 and 56 were listed but there is no indicator if they are blown.

I do not think the BCM is fried; wipers still work and was told the BCM controls them?
