Nissan Micra 2003 flashing hazard lights

[bootloaderbb]

Firstly I posted this in the general automotive section but this seems a better place for it. Could a MOD delete it from General please?


I have a 2003 Nissan Micra(sx) K12 that has developed initially a random flashing hazard lights problem but has now gone on to them being on all the time unless i remove the fuse which then disables the central locking, ignition etc.

All other lights are working normally and i have checked the wiring that goes through the boot door to the body and that's fine.

I have disconnected the battery for 30 mins which did stop it for about 6 hours then it started again. Also unplugged the BCM for 30 mins but no different.

When it was working in between the random events the hazard switch worked fine every time.

A mechanic says its the BCM module that's faulty so after looking into this can I just buy another BCM with the same model number, BCM-L2N 284B2AX600.

It's a D2 V5.00

Then swap over the SO8 95160 Epsom?

Will it then be plug and play or will other information be required to be programmed into the replacement module?

Thanks in advance.
