The AC part on rockauto.com is ACDELCO Part # 9385329 {#09385329}
MODULE,BODY CONT

But for Cardone they list two different reman modules. One shows from 1997-2005 and the other shows 1997-2002.

You may need to find a dealer to ask about what the correct replacement is.

rockauto.com, buick, 1999, parkavenue, electrical, body control module

Also, keep in mind the BCM module will need to be initialized or programmed by the dealership.


And to the OP welcome to AF.

thanks ...........and thats a roger on the program.
The AC part has the pink connector (which doesn't key to the blue one(mating connector) in the car.

best way to get correct part is to supply last 8 of vin to a GM parts counter. there may have been mid year changes.

fyi, I had a few people say my 97 BCM needed to be "programed". One guy said it didn't. One Dealer said it did, the other in my area said it didn't.
The place where I ordered it (internet) said they don't need to be programed.
I bought it on that advice. It was Plug and Play, works without programing. One dealer was going to charge an hour, when it didn't need to be.

Was it new or used? The requirement is specified in the GM service manual under BCM Programming/RPO Configuration. It states the BCM will not function properly if the Setup New BCM Procedure is not performed. Therefore it is supposed to be applicable to new BCM modules off the shelf that were never installed or originally programmed before delivery of the vehicle.

Brand new, never installed.
