Body Control Module: Vehicle Damage Warnings
Fuses and Light Bulbs
When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated
may result in a dangerous electrical system over- load. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be
corrected.
When replacing HALOGEN bulbs, do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with an oily surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
Electrical Testing Precautions
Before disconnecting any control module, make sure the ignition is "off". Failure to do so could damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause it to fail because of corrosion.
Be careful when performing electrical tests so as to prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such mistakes can damage fuses or components. Also, a
second DTC could be set, making diagnosis of the original problem more difficult
