It's not too difficult to replace the Body Control Module. If you know what you are doing you can do it in about 2 hours. I just got through doing it on my 1996 Caravan. The BCM is mounted on the back of the fuse box under the dash on the driver's side. 1. Disconnect the battery.

2. Remove the under-dash panel (plastic cover panel, metal panel, and metal brace.) You will also need to disconnect the handle for the emergency brake.

3. Remove three large screws holding fuse box in place (two on right and one on left.)

4. Remove the electrical connections at the bottom of the BCM. Avoid breaking the plastic retaining clips if possible. To release the clips push in at the tip.

5. You should now be able to pull the fuse box down a few inches, which is all you need.

6. Remove the screws holding the BCM to the fuse box, two screws on the right and one on the left.

7. Slide the BCM down and out to remove it from the back of the fuse box. Reverse the procedure to put the new BCM in place. If you broke the retaining clips on the connectors you will need to use Duct Tape to hold them in place.
