To find it, you'll likely need to:
* Consult a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram specific to your 1997 Dodge Caravan will pinpoint the BCM's location precisely. These are sometimes available online through repair manuals or automotive forums.
* Look for a large, black box: The BCM is usually a relatively large, rectangular black box with several connectors attached.
* Search carefully behind the dashboard: This area is often cluttered, so be prepared for some careful searching and potentially removing some trim panels.
Important Note: Before attempting to access the BCM, disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid any electrical shock or damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
