I’ll post the details as I get them, but my wife just texted me that our friend just got quoted $1300 for a new ECU for her Tiburon.
Where could I source one for less than the stealership? I’ll get the exact year shortly…
…Wifey is saying something about “body control module.” Is there such an animal or is this what I get for getting tech info from a dealership to a girl to a girl to me?
EDIT: Nope, it is the Body Control Module, as described by Newman below.
BCM is like the brain of the chassis. Basically controls things like heat, alarm, door locks, lighting, etc.
Mostly a bunch of solid state relays…
Like if you turn on the headlights, it doesn’t send power to the relay, it sends a signal to the BCM, which, if all other conditions align, closes the headlight relay.
Something with the blinkers…
what yr? engine? tranny?
What dealership?
That would make sense.
I Can get it at cost for $700-800 depending on vin…
Also if you get me the vin and miles and i can see if i can get it covered under warranty for you =)
Dude. I would owe you so many beers… Working on it.
ok :tup:
I’ll check back in about an hour or so… gotta go brush off zee cars =(
I’ll PM you. It may be a while before I get the info.
OT: is this the bombshell?

seems common… thanks Korea
NUDES
is the ONLY thing that’s wrong a problem w/ the blinkers? If so you could get creative and rewire them using a flasher module and a standard relay.
Yeah.
I like that idea, but I don’t get creative with other people’s cars.
…
The car’s at Northtown right now.

My mom had BCM issues with an old camaro…
Did you try www.car-part.com ?
Yeah I just did. There’s a used one for $75 2 miles from where I grew up. I may talk her into waiting till Thursday when I could go home to get it. :shrug:
Granted used electronics are sketchy. We’ll see what Slopoke can do first.
dude, i should be the first person you are contacting with this type of problem
Buy the junkyard part!!..
its a shame you didnt ask me sooner, i just junked a whole box of parts i had leftover and i belive a BCM was in there…
lol yeah I was hoping you would see this thread. I’ll be in touch if I have any other questions.
