From the Shop Floor: We recently had a contractor bring in his Express van with a dead blower motor. He had already replaced the motor and the resistor, but the problem persisted. After a quick check, we identified the BCM as the culprit. A failing BCM can send incorrect signals, making you think other parts have failed. Installing a new, programmed 2004-2007 Express 3500 Body Control Module not only fixed his HVAC but also resolved an intermittent door lock issue he hadn’t even mentioned. Itโs the brain of the body electronics, and replacing it is often the simplest fix for the most confusing problems.
