sorry i wasn't of help, never heaerd of a "body control module" but there's lot's of parts on jeeps i haven't been introduced to yet and i probably don't want to. glad u got it going!
Email me at lmbelcher@yahoo about your issues with a jeep Cherokee not starting. I have read all the answers to this question and while all of them sound intelligent, none of them hold the answers. I went through all of them myself and finally just decided I was better off figuring it out myself without the uneducated input from people that think they know whats wrong. Everyone wants to end up saying its the cpu or a control module when it is most likely a simple thing like mine was. The part Is most likely a 35.00 problem vs 160.00 fuel pump or a 400.00 cpu not to mention the time and effort wasted fixing something that does not need fixing.
CHECK VACUME LINES!!! have been having intermittent probs. with my 97 grand cherokee since i bought it last year with idleing, sometime idled @ 2000 rpm, sometimes normal, replaced IAC valve, had same prob., occasional stalling, but starts right back up, sometimes hard to start, somtime starts rite up, DRIVING ME NUTS!! Decided to reseat PCM connections, dam thing wouldn't start at all unless i pumped the hell out of the gas pedal & had to keep pumping till it decided to smooth out and run, was going to buy PCM as a last resort when i noticed the hard plastic vacume line going to the cruise control motor was broken. Spliced in with rubber vacume line & tie wraps-PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!! On closer inspection i could see where the line at some time or other had gotten a small melted spot(cig burn or whatever) & might have had a hairline crack that was growing & when i was messing with the PCM i obviously bumped it & finished it off. i guess the PCM was keepig it going the best it could!!!
