MarcARow Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Is there a specific program out there for Fords? Can I use something like HP Tuners or EVI Live? Three (3) of my turnsignals went out and I've traced it back to a faulty BCM. I have a replacement, but the new one won't start without programming it with the VIN number. Everything works on the new BCM, lights, stereo, seats, moonroof, etc., but I can't start the vehicle. The dealership wants $550 to buy another NEW BCM and install it and program it for me.

akirby Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 You should be able to find a dealer to just do the programming. You must have a Ford IDS or equivalent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to find a dealer that will just do the programming and not charge me for the BCM and programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDGE16 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 You would also need to reprogram the key fobs to the new bcm. Your new bcm should also have with it a new 5 digits code for the door keyless entry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcARow Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Just got back from the dealer and they put a brand new BCM in the Edge. Turn signals still don't work (driver front and mirror work, all others dont). I just paid them $90 about a month ago to tell me I needed a new BCM. I just sucked it up and paid the $500 for the BCM and programming and labor and yada yada yada....and the damn thing still doesn't work. They have no idea they said and would have to "dig into it more". What other options do I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcARow Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 They didn't screw up, the BCM works. It just wasn't the problem with my turn signals. They have no idea what it is and said, "We'll have to run another diagnostics". Which is another $100. I'm sure I can get that for free, but I'm not getting back the money for the BCM and labor.

akirby Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Well if they diagnosed it as a bad BCM but that didn’t fix the problem then they screwed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
