How can I be sure the BCM is Bad? I don't have Fuel cluster working and the Climate control doesn't work, all fuses are good, there is no lights on the gauges at all, so the codes dont show up. Thanks Dodge

The passenger side door will lose power sometimes, meaning none of the power windows, power locks or heat seat buttons work. None of them illuminate either if headlights are on. You also can not power down the window by using the driver's side buttons, nor the power locks. This seems to last for a little while, then they magically start working again as if nothing is wrong. I am told it might be the BCM, Where is that located on the car?

There are two BCM's in this car one is called the instrument controller and the other is a rear interrogation module. Here are the locations. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Where is the body control module located at on this car?

I have had to replace the head gasket on this car and several things were replaced while it was apart. Now something is keeping the accessories running and it the battery is dead when we go to start it. Any ideas short of getting rid of the car? We put on new battery in it in November and it is a Delco. Since then, on occasion the security alarm will go off on this car also.

The body control module, also known as the platform zone module(PZM) on this vehicle, is behind the rear seat back. By keeping the accessories running, is this a visual thing that you know is happening? The random alarm going off could be a door switch, or trunk tamper switch that is intermittently faulty.

I am not sure if you meant to send a reply. All I got was what I had wrote to you previously.
