how do you know it went bad? What has changed in your cars electrical system?

The BCM controls a bunch of things including your interior lights, a whole bunch of sensors that work with your remote keyless entry system, even the door chime just to name a few

Fixing a BCM is never an option. Always replace with same part number BCM'*

Check out your local salvage yard to same money!

Go find your local auto salvage yard, buy a BCM from another Bonneville for about $5 to $15, swap out your old one, reprogram your remote keyles entry system, good to go!

When your ready to program your remotes let us know and we can help with that to.

Although you do have a case when none of your remotes work right now right?

You will have to take your car to a dealer to do the initial setup of the system.....

We can help you add remotes, when there is at least one working first.
