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?
