I can't afford $275 + an hour labor so I'll try to find a used one somewhere. If I get one and have to "program" it, what is involved in programing a BCM? What kind of stuff would I need. I'm guessing I can't do it without expensive electronic stuff, but what is involved in programing a BCM. Thanks,

Chris, I've reflashed the PCM and anti-lock brake module for my own car using a Tech II scanner that I own to the latest calibration files. I never actually had to change a body module, but I'm pretty sure that it requires this scanner or some other dedicated scanner to do the job.
