Body Control Module for Grand Am and Alero

CARDONE 73-1288 is a remanufactured body control module built for specific Pontiac Grand Am and Oldsmobile Alero applications. It is engineered to restore original electronic body functions with an OE-style fit and validated electrical performance.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment body control computer with a black plastic housing
• 3 connectors with rectangle-shaped interfaces and female terminals
• 100% re-soldering of critical components to improve electrical connection integrity
• Automated computerized testing on every unit for functionality and reliability
• Latest OE software calibration loaded where applicable
• Bracket-mounted design with no flash programming required for the module itself
• Earth-friendly remanufacturing process that reduces raw material and energy use versus new-part production

Product Details

This CARDONE Body Control Computer is part of the Body Control Computer line, focused on remanufactured electronic control modules that address common failure points found in original units. CARDONE reverse engineers failed modules to identify design weaknesses, then repairs or replaces critical internal components at its Philadelphia manufacturing plant. The result is a remanufactured BCM that is tested for form, fit, durability, and performance before release. Part number 73-1288 is listed for 2003-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2003-2004 Oldsmobile Alero applications. This part cross-references Pontiac and Oldsmobile OE number 22701288 for the same application.

Common Issues This Module May Resolve

• Loss of body control functions such as interior electronics or convenience features
• Intermittent electrical operation caused by failed solder joints or internal module wear
• Starting or drivability concerns after BCM failure or incorrect module programming
• Communication faults related to the vehicle’s body control system
• Fitment problems when replacing a damaged or nonfunctional original module

Installation Notes

Fits 2003-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, N/A. Fits 2003-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, N/A. Vehicle-specific flash programming is required on the vehicle, and vehicle-specific on-car programming must be performed after installation to prevent drivability and starting issues. Verify connector count, connector shape, and mounting style before installation. Because this is a control module, proper programming and system checks are important after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured body control module is computer tested for reliability and built to meet or exceed OE performance expectations. Critical components are re-soldered or replaced to address common failure points, and the remanufacturing process reduces the energy and raw material needed for a new part by up to 80%.
