So I picked up a 07 SS SC from copart a few months ago to prepare for my spring build. It was a running and driving car, I drove it home myself. However being a wrecker car it didn't have a good battery. A few weeks ago when I went to jump it to move it again I wasn't paying attention and made a dumb mistake of hooking it up backwards.
Now it won't start, I have check all the fuses twice. I get a check engine and security light and when I try to start, I hear a relay but nothing happens. At one point the display was saying 'Power steering' & 'Low Fuel' but not anymore. I think its a solid guess that the BCM is toast. And it looks like to replace the BCM I would have the partially disassembled car towed to the dealer to have a new one programmed to the ecu. It seems cheaper however to find a ecu and bcm pair from a yard (plus keys?) and just swap them both, or would that even work?
I would probably prefer to get this resolved before I fully tear apart the car and assemble the kit, I am not sure if I have to end up take it in to the dealer for reprogramming that they would even work on the kit car.
Thanks for any info or suggestions since I am new to the GM platform.
