Body control module is generally installed in the glove box, and the module has two connectors. Functions of the body controller: Command transmission: The trigger signal for speed regulation commands comes from the command of the vehicle controller. Adjusting equipment operation status: The specific commands given by the body controller to the motor controller, detecting feedback: For example, different motors have different thermal characteristics, and different start-stop control schemes should be adopted when continuously driving the motor to avoid overheating. The body controller considers using mature technologies and products to minimize the occurrence of faults in the design selection and system design. Choosing intelligent chips can monitor the status of electrical equipment and feed it back to the microcontroller. What is body control: The body controller mainly controls the electrical appliances on the car and manages the normal use of various functions.

Last time I drove my friend's Geely Binyue and had an issue with the window controls malfunctioning, so I looked up where the body control module is located. It's usually hidden behind the passenger glove box area—you need to remove a few screws and open the glove box lid to access a small black box. The placement is quite clever, positioned near the footwell to avoid water exposure and vibrations since the module controls critical functions like lights, windows, doors, and locks. Any malfunction could impact safety. To be specific, it's roughly on the left side of the dashboard or the passenger side. I checked the vehicle manual, which recommends turning off the power before working on it to prevent short circuits. Once, I fixed a loose connector myself by tightening it, but for complex issues, it's best to consult a professional mechanic. The location is generally fixed, though slight adjustments may vary between model years—always check the fuses first.

A common question from Geely Binrui owners during repairs: The Body Control Module (BCM) is typically located behind the passenger glove compartment or near the left footwell of the dashboard. Having done this job, I confirm the position is easy to locate—away from high-temperature engine areas to prevent overheating damage to electronic components. This module controls all external vehicle systems like lights, wipers, and central locking. If exposed to water ingress or aging, functions may malfunction. Procedure: Always turn off the engine and remove the key first, then unscrew the glove compartment, gently pull out the module to inspect connectors and wiring. DIY disassembly is discouraged to avoid contact oxidation worsening issues. Most units sit beneath the passenger seat (position may vary slightly by model). Regular dust cleaning prevents faults, ensuring safe driving.

My Geely Binyue used to have intermittent headlight issues, and I was curious about the location of the body control module. After checking some materials, I found it's either inside or beneath the glove box. I gave it a try—removing a few clips revealed a small electronic box that controls many functions like lights, door locks, and trunk switches. It's positioned near the passenger-side footwell area, making it accessible for repairs without being in the way. I’ve handled simple maintenance like dust cleaning myself, but for major issues, I leave it to the repair shop. If the module fails, it affects the entire car, so I recommend bringing a flashlight for a thorough inspection.
