Interior problem
1997 Buick Park Avenue 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Interior lights not working on my 1997 Buick Park Ave. Have checked all fuses that I believed might be connected to the lights. It is not a door switch because it doesn't matter which door is opened. Map lights will not come on with their switches either. Battery has been replaced recently. Thanks.

Have checked fuse for SBM. Would it be the module behind the glove box or the lamp module under the left hand side of the dash? Thank you.

Got a replacement BCM. Changed it out and everything works well now. Please note that your key remotes have to be re-assigned to your car after changing the body control module.
