Hi,
I have an issue with my original BCM.
My question is.
Can I buy a used one with the same part number and the same car model and spec and replaced without any programing?

Thank you

No. The module would need to be programmed with the correct VIN and security information to match your vehicle and its options. Ford also has blocked the use of used modules in many cases, you have to open them and clone the chips directly instead of being able to rewrite them to a different configuration.

I wish it was better news. There are folks out there who do module cloning like that and looking online might find you one locally. If you look on YouTube you will find folks like
Cody’s Auto Diagnostics and Maic Salazar Diagnostics who do this type of work, they might be able to assist you in finding someone as well.
