what does it mean when my Ford Explorer shows a B1202 code

Solution

1. Preparation

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
• Gather necessary tools and parts for repairs.

2. Inspect and Repair Wiring

• Locate the wiring harness connected to the BCM.
• Visually inspect the wires for fraying, corrosion, or breaks.
• Use a multimeter to test continuity in the affected circuits. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.

3. Replace Faulty Switches

• If interior lighting switches are identified as faulty, remove the panel covering the switches.
• Disconnect the connectors and remove the switches.
• Install new switches by reversing the removal process and reconnecting the connectors.

4. Replace Body Control Module (if necessary)

• If the BCM is determined to be faulty, remove it from its mounting location.
• Disconnect all wiring connectors carefully.
• Install the new BCM by connecting all wiring and securing it in place.
• Reconnect the battery terminal.
