How many Body Control Module issues on here?
I just had my second BCM replaced at 60,700 miles. The first one was at about 15k and under warranty, the second one out of pocket $1500!!!!!
The first one seemed a one off so I didn’t think much about it. The second one in 45000 miles?
Very unimpressed!! I did a lot of research on here about the BCM and the most likely cause was moisture/water.
I asked the service manager and he did say there was rust or moisture in there. He said the only way that could occur was if someone hadn’t closed the fuse box properly.
I have only been in the fuse box twice and both times were to pull the horn fuse after the BCM failure and never after each one was replaced.
Anyone’s thoughts on this?
Anyone else have multiple occurrences??

The dealer told me the bcm is under the main fuse box in the engine compartment and I believe I have read that some where else?
