I think I have a BCU issue, and seen it mentioned here a bazillion times.
But when I search BCU I get nada.
It tells me no results for BCU, so it's either lying or broke
Is there are proper way to search the forums for BCU?

 

body control unit..... what ate the symptoms

 

I just recall reading somewhere if it is replaced another unit should be replaced with it so that they work together.
I was trying to find the name of the other unit.

My Symptoms were weird dash lights, will not crank, windows-seats do not work, will not stay running when starter is jumpped. 2 pending codes 0705 and 1668.
I took apart and also tested the xyz and it was working right.

So I figure something happened after the long battery disconnect where the BCu and the other part are not synching.

 

if you replace the b c u then will need dealer level reprogram. you may just need that, if memory was lost

 

So you believe it's worth a shot to try a reprogram prior to replacement?
Is there a BECM?

 

"NO", do not replace the BCU, mainly because some of your issues are not related to the BCU, such as your engine problems.
Is your check engine light on if so what are the fault code numbers.
Also, if you were to replace the BCU, you could then no longer start it, it would have to be towed to a dealer and they will charge you a couple $200.
If you want help with this today, PM me your number and I'll call you.

 

The search engine for these forums sucks for the most part. You can't search for a 3 letter word.
Use google and this search string
BCU site:https://landroverforums.com
Like this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=BCU+s...w=1350&bih=908
Or to search for BCU plus another word:
http://www.google.com/search?q=BCU+s...w=1350&bih=908

 

with all the problems the site it is still free and same software supports many similar sites, provides fun for an army of diy

 

Cool, thx for the google search tip there, I can put it to good use.
D Mike, I will PM soon, need to get a couple small things in order first.
