Hi all. So I've fitted a different BCM to my VT. Car was a mid level to which I've fitted a high level BCM and replaced all the body wiring, front to back from a WH Statesman. Good fun.
I know (thanks to this forum) I have to get the BCM and ECU matched. Seems surprisingly (to me based on what I've read) difficult for the local mobile auto sparkys here on the Gold Coast. One asked me "Why would you do that"? Called three before I found one who believed matching the pair could be done yet of course I know from reading here it's been done many times.
Anyway my question is, should the car turn over before the ECU and BCM are matched? I've read several threads where posters have mentioned after either a BCM or ECU swap that their car quote "won't start" but should it turn over? I've had an issue with the key head before where the car would turn over but wouldn't start. Should it be the same now? I just want to make sure everything is as it should be before the sparky starts gouging me.
Thanks for any help.
