The BCM is basically the "brain" of the car. It controls functions such as door locks, windows, radio, dash lights & gauges. It also works with your PCM to manage engine functions.
Mine recently went out and it caused the dash lights and gauges to "go out" and come back on like you just started it up. The engine performed fine, but the dash didn't. While doing this, the windows, radio and door locks become disabled. The "retained power accessory" relay was being switched on and off by the BCM.
If you need one, do a search on "ACDelco 15235418." That is the OEM part number. I got mine (new) from Amazon.com and they are also available from RockAuto and BrightAuto. A dealership will charge upwards of $300 plus labor for installation and programming. Online, I got mine for $173 including shipping. If you can get one online it will save you big $$$. And no, you cannot "reprogram" a used one from a junkyard. Once they're programmed, they're programmed.
Replacing one by yourself is not for the faint of heart. It requires removing the radio trim, console trim (between the seats) and the fuse block. The BCM is mounted to the top of the fuse block. This is all located underneath the radio and climate control cluster on the floor.
Good luck!
