Default Body Control Modual

My sister has a 2006 Dogde Caravan. From what I've read, its a body control modual issue. When I look up the part, I find engine control modual, is this the same thing? Is it hard to put in?

Is it the unit behind the fuse box I've read about?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to DF
I beieve the Body control module is also called a front control module. No it not that hard to install. But you may need to have it program the vin number from the van.

I've never dealt with a 2006 BCM and I would hardly consider this gospel but I'm seeing numerous Google hits describing a 2006 BCM location as "behind the driver's side kick panel" or "behind driver's side dash. The Front Control Module (FCM) the silver box mounted on the front of the IPM (fuse box).

"Engine control module" is a generic term describing the computer that controls the engine management system on just about any car. Chrysler calls this computer the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). No, this is not the same thing as the BCM. The BCM controls body electronics meaning, headlights, wipers, door locks, instruments, etc.
