    You say you just bought this car. No prizes for guessing why the previous owner sold it

    I don't think so. You could try resetting it by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. If you have the stock radio you will need the PIN code handy.

    you'll need a bcm that has the same number on it,did you use your ute key on it?the key is programmed in to the bcm,you'll need a key head an bcm.just by one off a wreck with the key.

    You will also need to have the BCM and ECU linked before it will start. It's a security thing so you can't just steal a commodore with your own BCM and key.

    You will need a Tech 2 or other compatible scan tool to link them. Holden, some auto electricians and mechanics will have one. There is no other way, unless you get a BCM, ECU and remote that are already linked from another vehicle.

    been watching this for a while, but looked too complicated to get involved
    anyway everyone has had a good laugh but nothing super helpful
    do you have factory air or aftermarket?
    does it fault when you turn heater fan on or only A/C and fan?
    most likely you have a short in a loom somewhere (good luck finding it)
    look for modifications to car that may have damaged loom or where someone inexperienced has been
    doubt it's a BCM as A/C is controlled by ECU, fan is controlled by BCM

    Best way to check the BCM is to buy a complete set (BCM, ECU and key head). You'll need the BCM and ECU to both have the same part numbers and make sure you get one with a key with the right number of buttons.

    Hey tmuir, just doing some reading and found an old tech bulletin that deals with your problem
    it is caused by a faulty "blower fan speed controller" in vehicles with climate control
