Not sure retail - but they can be found on the Bay, but they will need to be set up to your vehicle which will need some hefty diagnostic comouters to do....

They can be repaired, do a google search, and also a few members on here do/used to do that service...so a quick search on here will show something up.....

Not sureif Rick-the-pick does it or dougdotcom (cant rmember which) does BeCM programming.

Range Rover and Land Rover Discovery suffering from Body Electrical Control Module problems. exactly what you have no? good advice offered to check battery and fuseboard to...

Do you need to take the seat out to get the BeCM out think i will do as you guys say...

1, BeCM out pop it open see if i can see anything etc
2, Clean contacts and stuff refit,
3, check charge rate
4, then torch it

Battery with voltmeter first (do alternator aswell)
Then Fuseboard
Then BeCM as Saint said

Far easier with chair out, but ~I am sure it can be done with it in place just a bit more fiddly and annoying....

Also start your list with 'Disconnect Battery....'

Right, we've got a fighting chance, especially if you're married . . . . .

- disconnect battery
- remove driver's seat, undo all the bolts, tip it back slowly and disconnect any electrical connectors that you find attached to the seat
- find big black box with lots of wires going into it (BECM)
- take the lid off
- carefully and taking your time (lots of time, this could either save you or cost you a small fortune) dry out the interior with a gentle airline or the wife's hairdrier (told you you had to be married)
- re-fit all the electrics under the drivers seat
- re-connect the battery

It's worth a try, if only to prove the fault.

what am i looking for in the fuse box as i couldnt smell anything on the top side ie under the lid but on top of the fuses just smelt like plastic lol

Great guys some top advice coming in here and believe me its really thankfully recieved as well men.. cheers

Thought BeCM was silver??? still youcan't miss it, it big and have 17 odd connections to it, not just multiplugs, but earth straps, the fusebox and a couple of cables too, so don't forget those.

Thanks guys i do like the looks of it inside and out, but still need a few bits, detachable tow bar and LPG kit been offerd one cheap as new but frightend to have a go at the fitting of it.. then there is this issue on top like

You could try unplugging alarm under fuse box mine horn goes off and headlights on and indicators when plugged in fine when unplugged.
