Default BCM body control module 16155502

Hi Everyone, I am sure someone has asked this. BCM for a 91 auto. I gave my corvette to a mechanic who is fairly switched on with problem solving. My dash LED lights have segments that don't light up.They do come alive if I do some "drive like you stole it" routines.
He has asked for advice on the internet and someone has told him its either the BCM or a module that plugs into the back of the dash. A few years ago I had a dash from a friend from a 91 but it acted the same with led segments not working. I not sure that dash module is the answer nor is the mechanic.
We checked the BCM earth wire and it was showing a fault so he ran a new wire but didnt help the LED dash segments.
In short ,shall I upgrade the BCM with a new unit, recon or used? If so what should I pay and is ebay the best source?
With the dash module I am not sure its name and part number so would apprecate that.
Being based in Australia, the spare parts will have to come from the US. A few names would be apprecated.
Regards

Neville
