K12 Body Control Module [BCM]

[DAB]

I'm in need of help.

My 2007 micra has developed a fault, where the fog light is on at all times i.e. ignition and/ switch on or off! This is then draining the battery and so I can't start the car.

I've been told the BCM requires replacing, but at a significant cost.

Does anyone on here know of
1) typical part numbers for the BCM?
2) anywhere that I could pick up a cheap repleacement [new or refurb]
3) have any experience they can offer when it comes to replacing one of these. I'm aware any replacement BCM requires re-coding. Will dealers do this on a customer supplied part?
4) I suspect the problem is a power transistor or relay. Anyone tried replacing one on their BCM?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

dont see why nissan wont recode it they did my ecu ect £125.00 There is a place at peterlee that has a few k12 in stock for breaking http://www.ne-motorsalvage.co.uk/pa...reakers&value4=MakeModel&page_type=&value5=20
maybe worth a phone call to your local nissan dealer and breakers

Have a look here . An awesomely useful site. Had a quick look for you but couldn't find anything called a BCM. I drive a K12 too so am curious .

The relay for the fog lights has fused. If you dont have a wiring manual feel every relay until you find the one that is hot with the ignition off.

Thanks for the great responses.

First off, for my chassis [Sept 2007; 1.4 DE, 5 door] the part number for the BCM is 284B2EM03B.

Quotes are £287 +vat for the BCM, and £222 for coding and fitting...total of £565...ouch!
I have been passed on to a remanufacturer company BBA-reman that charge £35 to test, and if repairable, £100 +p&p plus no recoding required....great!, only they can take up to 4 weeks!

Thanks for the breakers info kennierobo, will check it out now i have the part number...and its good to know that i have a chance of getting one recoded.

I've found the electrical maintenance manual via this forum, so i think the next step its to look at the output realys [thanks bombardier] and see if this is the fault source and can be corrected easily myself...well worth the effort considering the cost.

Thanks again

What was the outcome of this problem. Did you get your BCM repaired or replace it?
