I have a 2003 tiburon with 80k miles. I started having problems with the blinkers a while ago, and it was diagnosed from the dealer that the Body Control Module is failing and needs replacement. They also want to charge $$$$. I have found a yard that has stock on the part and will guarantee it for 30 days. Is it wise to replace it on my own, or it this something that absolutely must be repaired @ the dealership???? I also heard that if the numbers (?)on the new part match the old one it may not need to be programmed, it may just work after installation. I just need to know if the $600 I'll save is worth the gamble?? Also if any one has a link to diagram this part for D-I-Y girls like myself that would be GREAT! THANKS!!

hi mate yes you can swap the bcm but your keyless entry will need to be reprogrammed to the key fobs and it only takes 15 mins to swap it over and make sure it has the same part number anyway as there are different ones.

I have a spare BCM for a 2003 Tiburon. I tested it on my car and it works perfectly. I am not sure what it is worth but I will sell it for significantly less than a dealership would. Make me an offer.

I know someone who's looking for a BCM; I let him know you've got one for sale and gave him a link to this thread. Hopefully you guys can work something out.

I just found out that a new BCM is worth over $600. I am willing to sell this one for about $300.

I'll offer $200 for fast shipping of the BCM. Could you provide a picture please? It seems to be the theme that 2003 BCM's are failing. It turns out my windshield seal was broken and water leaked on mine. It works but sometimes clicks out. Bad luck I guess =/
Let me know... $200 for BCM + fast shipment.
Edit: And mine is also around 80k miles. If I remember I've seen yet ANOTHER thread somewhere for a failed BCM with the same milage. Is is possible that these things are prone to failure?
