Hi~
My interior lights kept blowing fuses. I discovered a chaffed wire in the passenger door that was shorting to ground. I repaired the wire, but now none of the interior lights are working. (All fuses are OK) I believe I fried the Body Control Module. If I order a used BCM off the internet, do I have to re-program it to my particular vehicle? If so, How do I re-program the BCM? Thanks!

If that is all what you have for problem then I would not think its the BCM
recheck the wiring and what you had done on the wiring

new BCM has to be reprogrammed by the dealer or the car will not start or run
