What are all the parts I will need to put the 4th gen BCM, (keyless entry and hatch release) in my Camaro? I already have power locks and electric hatch release and I am decent with actual physical wiring, if I know what to do/ need.

 

Got a Integrated Body Control Module from a 96 Firebird, with about 20 wires coming off of it. {GM 16243951 Model/ FFC ID AB01702R}
I have both Chiltons 82-94 and 94-98 F-body, however I am still not sure on what to do? Also what remotes would work best?

 

Here are some instructions I found for programming the fob. They were supposedly for a 1996 Firebird. Does that Sound right?

1- Turn ignition off. Remove RADIO fuse (fuse #17) from the fuse block. Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN 3 times within 5 seconds until door locks and hatch release cycle. Indicating the BCM is in program mode. Leave ignition key in RUN postion.

2- Press both LOCK and UNLOCK button on Transmitter for 16 seconds. Door locks will cycle (LOCK then UNLOCK) confirming the transmitter has been programmed. Door locks must cycle completely to unlock before proceeding.

3- Repeat step (2) for each additional transmitter to be programmed.

4- Turn off ignition switch, and replace fuse #17. confirm fuctions of transmitter.

Also what remotes will work with this BCM?

I think you'll have a hard time integrating a 96 BCM with just what you have. The BCM on OBDII cars do a lot more things and have a lot more inputs and outputs than earlier BCMs.. If you're just wanting remote locks and trunk, get an alarm.. There $99 and a whole lot easier to hook up.

but then he doesn't get that sweet chevy bowtie remote

The two guys in this thread did it:

From what I have read 89-90 (hopefully 91) are 3 wire positive on the locks. I have read 99 (maybe 96) are 3 wire negitive on the locks what does that mean for me?

I might go and try to find the older 93-95 box as it seems much simpler.

Programming remote for 95 Z28, or what my search came up with.
1. Turn the ignition to the RUN position, then to the OFF position. This will disarm the Vehicle and Content Theft-Deterent/Alarm (if your vehicle has this option).

2. Remove the RADIO fuse. This fuse is located in the main fuse block, located on the left side of your main instrument panel.

3. Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position three times quickly ( within five seconds). The vehicle will respond by locking the doors, unloccking the driver's doors and releasing the hatch. Your transmitter is now ready to match to your vehicle.

4. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The vehicle will respond as in step 3.

5. Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.

6. When you have finished matching all of your transmitters, replace the RADIO fuse.

7. Check that all transmitters work by pressing their buttons

 

After I silconed the locks and they now work well, I am reattempting this project. Any more insite?

 

Summer is coming, this would be slick to figure out.

 

im about to attempt the same progect using a 98 keyless setup in my 91... ill let you know of my progress.. im gonna try to use as much as i can from the 98 bcm.... i.e. keyless, light control, hatch release, etc... again ill let you know and if ya have any insite let me know as well...

 

Pretty much all my knowledge for this is in the post alone. I can try and help you sort this out, cause the parts so far are free so I out nothing.

 

Does your bcm look like mine?

 

Well I ordered two new door lock actuators to replace the tired ones and will install them within the next week. Camaro86vette, have you made any progress?

 

havnt made much progress other then getting all the wiring diagrams and all together.. i have it all mapped out on what to do.. just have to do it.... and yes, my bcm is like the one you posted ...

 

I know there is a million to one shot I will get an answer to this post, but here it goes: I just did this upgrade to my 88 Trans am GTA, and it went smooth as honey (except that I set the alarm code into the bcm before I got the key fobs- lol). I consider this to be one of the best interior wiring upgrades that could be done -- its awesome. How did this work out for you. Where did you end up placing the bcm?
