I got a 1980 Dodge Macho Power Wagon, electrical issues caused the BCM to fail. I use it for off-road use only. Can I bypass the BCM to make it functional again?

 

What issues are you having, It doesn't have a BCM. Most likely you are having issues with the amp gauge or the bulkhead plug.

I recently acquired it as my own from my dad, he said it was the BCM. Wires shorted and I guess something under the hood isn’t functioning properly. I’ll have to go do my own testing it looks like.

Edit: From viewing the document you attached to your thread, it sounds like that is the issue. Goes with what he was saying, just different component name i believe.

 

look at the wires on the back of the amp gauge, Mine was still working when i got it but they where burnt.

 

I will, thank you for the clarification.
