🛠️ Why BCM (Body Control Module) Repairs Are on the Rise in the UK

🚗 What is a BCM?

The Body Control Module (BCM) is like the central nervous system of your car. It controls essential functions such as:

• Electric windows

• Central locking

• Interior and exterior lights

• Wipers and indicators

• Security systems (immobiliser, alarm)

When the BCM fails, drivers often experience random electrical issues — sometimes leading to breakdowns.

⚠️ Common Signs of BCM Failure

If you notice any of these issues, it could be your BCM:

• 🚨 Car won’t start despite a healthy battery

• 💡 Lights flickering or not working properly

• 🔑 Key fob not responding or immobiliser active

• 🌧️ Wipers or indicators working intermittently

• 🔋 Drain on the battery overnight

These faults are becoming more common as vehicles rely more on electronics.

📊 Why BCM Repairs Are Increasing in the UK

Recent trends in the UK automotive market show:

1. Older Cars on the Road – The average age of UK cars is now over 9 years, meaning more electrical wear and tear.

2. High Repair Costs at Dealerships – Replacing a BCM at a main dealer can cost £800–£2,000+.

3. Rising Demand for Specialist Repairs – Drivers are seeking independent BCM repair specialists to save money.

4. Complex Modern Vehicles – More electronic modules = more potential BCM/ECU faults.
