BCM needs replacement -

[Antman450]

I need to replace my interior fuse box, the one above the driver's left leg. As I understand the fuse box is actually the BCM, but I am not 100% on that. I found the part and would like to order it. Here is the part I found: BCM part . The problem is that one of the fuses is not sitting properly and it is connecting on and off. Instead of trying to mess with trying to fix the connectors, etc., I would rather just buy a new part.

What I am wondering is, what does it take to install this. Is this something that I can pull a file from Motorcraft service and Forscan it to the new module? I know I know I need to order the part with a VIN specifically, but I don't want to pay my dealer $2K just to install it.

If anyone can help me here, I would much appreciate it. If I can't install and have to take it to the dealer, then so be it and FML. However I would very much like to avoid that kind of ridiculous expense for them to just run a program.

Why isn't this a warranty issue and let them fix it?

As luck would have it I am 2K miles outside of warranty. If this had happened 1 month ago before my road trip, that is what I would be doing.

Have you asked the dealership about it? That is so close they may goodwill it for you

This is why I believe in extended warranties.
Dr. Google says:
A new OEM Body Control Module (BCM) for a 2024 Ford Ranger Lariat costs between $220 and $370 for the part alone. Factoring in dealership programming and labor, total costs typically range from $450 to $650+. Used BCMs are available for $200 to $250, though these still require professional programming.

Personally, I would try and repair the connection. Might be easy!

I wouldn't think forscan could integrate it, dealer service has different equipment for programming stuff like that. For example if you add a door touchpad, you can't program it with forscan, a dealer has to do it.

How do you know it's just a fuse holder problem?
