2013 Ram 1500 BCM Swap Issues

[nickwille99]

Hello all. I am having issues with a BCM replacement on a 2013. I installed one out of a 2016 Ram and one out of a 2017 Ram (trying to add features from later years). Both times I couldn't get my key to work or get the truck to do anything when pressing the push to start button. Also having issues getting the VIN to write and the passenger tail light is stuck on. I tried restoring the configuration file from the old BCM to the new ones with alfaobd and still got nothing. When I put the original BCM in the truck, everything works as it should. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am experiencing almost the same issue with my 2013 ram 2500 diesel. After replacing the original faulty BCM with one from a 2016 2500 and restoring to my trucks original configurations via Alfaobd I also am unable to get the vin to rewrite and cannot finish the upload. Any information would be greatly appreciated?
