Hello, I'm Danny.

It is located to the left side of the steering column. I've attached a picture below of its description. Let me know if you have any further questions. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros. I've also attached pictures of the body control module location. It's mounted under the integrated power module under hood. It's the silver box.

Hi Danny L,

Can this unit be bypassed? And if so how can I do it. Also where can I get mine tested to find out if it is bad, as I do not have much money and I need my truck so I can get around. It sucks to be disabled and live on next to nothing.

Hello again,

Unfortunately, neither can be bypassed. A good auto electric shop can usually test/diagnose those 2 units. Shop labor is usually $100.00 an hour and will waive that fee if you have them do the repair. I've looked online and noticed that the BCM is roughly $60.00 to $100.00 on like eBay and such. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Danny-

The central timer module is integrated into the TIPM (IPM), which fail often in these trucks but they are easy to replace because they self learn. Here is how in the images below. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
