If I replace the BCM can I just plug in and play?

I was replacing light bulbs inside the car when one broke off in my hand and blew the fuse. I replaced the fuse and now the interior light doesn’t turn off! I replaced the courtesy light relay, no help and I checked the door switches, and they are working fine. The lights will not turn on/off with the headlight switch, but the switch will dim dash lights! If I get another BCM, can I just plug in and play?

This vehicle uses a Central Control Module (CCM), not a Body Control Module (BCM). It will need to be programmed to the car, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. here is the location of the CCM and how to replace it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
