Bad Body Control Module

Bad Body Control Module
I am looking at a car that recently had the BCM (?) replaced. It had been done before by someone who did not do the job right and some wiring had to be replaced as well. I'm assured the thing is fixed now...but it was expensive.
My question is, should this raise any alarm bells for me? The car looks great and I think it has been well cared for except for this problem. But what causes these things to go bad in the first place? Is there anything else I should be concerned about not that it has been "fixed"?

Hard to know what to make of this situation. The module just plugs into a connector, and things would need to have really been messed up, to have to replace any wiring. The BCM sits behind the glove box, and is a bit tedious to get at, but not impossible by any means. If the job was done that ineptly, maybe the BCM wasn't faulty in the first place. Well, if you go for this car, I hope the price is very attractive.....

I also have an x308 super v8 , I'm having issues with he running lights not working after i let two live wires touch . I was told it could be the body control module. So my question is this , could i replace it with the same part , or will it need to be programmed to my specific vehicle ? Thanks for any replies on advance

It depends on what wires touched, can you recall what they were? The problem could be solved with a simple fuse being replaced. Have a search for the electrical guide in the stickies at the top of the forum for the fuse location, it varies from model year to model year. At this point I wouldn't consider a BPM swap.
