Chrysler Repair: 1994 chrysler concorde, BCM, 1994 chrysler concorde, chrysler concorde

Question
1994 Chrysler Concorde, only 60K miles: won't start anymore. I am told by my mechanic that the Body Control Module needs to be replaced, part # 4759227. He has spent many hours trying to disable or get around this problem with no luck. He has also searched for the part from the manufacturer and used part dealers. Any ideas? The car will be junked without new part.

Answer
Hi Russ,
I an not clear what exact symptom you have when you try to start. Does it try to 'catch', does it run for a few seconds and die, or does it not turn over by the starter motor?
In any case, I would try for a fault code readout using the ignition switch: turn it "run-off-run-off-run and leave in the run position", doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the check engine light, which remains 'on', to see if begin to flash, pause, flash, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause. Then repeat the process to be sure you have an accurate set of flash counts. Tell me the counts in the order of appearance and we'll go from there. I questiom how the bcm would prevent starting unless it has to do with the anti-theft system. The fault codes may be instructive.
