Polo Won't Start (+ No Lights on Dash)
Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2022 2:35 pm
Hi there
My car stopped running 2 months ago after going into a pit with dirt and water (it was rainy season). There were lights on dash but nothing else worked.
1. The car didn't start.
2. The power windows, door locks, hazard lights, etc - nothing worked.
I took it to a mechanic who checked for fuses and ECM/BCM and said the BCM is faulty and need to be replaced. I got a new BCM but don't know how to program it?
1. Do I need the old BCM to program the new BCM? Can I do it without the old one?
2. Is there a different problem with the car? (The old BCM didn't have any visible hardware problem).
Thanks a ton!
