Replying to: mendyusa (Oct 16, 2009 6:21 am) That could have been the problem but chances are slim. Disconnecting the negative battery cable for about 30 minutes will do the same thing. There is a flash update for the BCM that will FIX the problem but I've only seen it mentioned once and it wasn't at the time I was having the issue. I've called several dealers and they all treated me like I was speaking martian. Every single one of them said I would need to bring the car in so they could "check it out." Keep looking for a bulletin # to flash the BCM so your remote and power features don't keep disapearing. In the mean time, yanking the fuse or disconnecting the battery will be the short term fix on the T&C.

#221 of 223 similar question by jdebbins Nov 11, 2009 (5:44 pm)
I have a 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The BCM got slowly sick, as manifested by a chime that was at first intermittent... then hard on for 4 minutes everytime the car is rolling after a stop. Go figure but was driving us crazy. I took it to the dealer, they said bad BCM, charged me $100 for the diags, wanted $800 for new BCM.   So I went to boneyard, pulled one out of 1999 Town and Country, since I couldn't find the exact same year or part number. But I figured it had to support all the features of "last years" model... and after I installed it seemed to work fine, oh, and adding 12K miles to the odometer... small price to pay.   I notice that the remote key entry did not work with the replacement BCM. Is this for real and how do I fix that...take it to the dealer?? I am asking, because I don't know, but I can imagine this might be the case...keys go with the car(BCM) so to speak..I can imagine it might need to be "re-keyed".   Then I made the mistake of testing the ALARM, I locked my kid inside, saw the alarm indicator come on and then go out after 10 seconds (normal), then I told him to open the door. Alarm (horn, lights) came on as usual, but without the remote working I could not disable as usual! So I pulled the battery cable... will 30 minutes reset it? I hope so... enough to get it to the dealer tomorrow???   Any advice welcome.   Cheers! Replies to this message: basline11 (Nov 12, 2009 4:00 am) jdebbins (Nov 12, 2009 9:21 am)

Replying to: jdebbins (Nov 11, 2009 5:44 pm) I'm not sure if the Plymouth Grand Voyager would be set up the same way as my 1998 Olds '88. I was told that my BMC was bad too but after investigating I discovered that the Keyless remote is controlled by a Remote Function Actuator module (RFA). A couple of things may have happened with your "fix". The replaced BCM could have done something to the RFA since it's an off model number, the two could just not be talking because they're not compatible or the RFA could have gone south on its own. Have you tried to re-synchronize your remote to your car? Replies to this message: jdebbins (Nov 12, 2009 9:21 am)

Replying to: basline11 (Nov 12, 2009 4:00 am) The BCM on this vehicle IS sick, and replacing it with the new BCM worked fine.... except for the remote keys not working.   If there is an easy way to "re-synch" the remote to the car I would love to try that, send along instructions. Or is this something only the dealer can do?
