Description of the problem	2005 dodge grand caravan sxt with 3. 8liter engine has dash light cluster flicker, headlight flicker and with every dash light lighting up and gauges going dead, then reappearing. Dealer tried to say it was battery, replaced it, then they said alternator, replaced it. After research, it appears they did not check body control module. My research indicates this is a significant problem, and no auto parts recyclers in north texas can keep bcm's in stock because of the demand. Significantly, the dealers want to charge $300-400 for the part, then $100 for programming it. My research also indicates the manufacturer may have been aware of the problem and superceded the part with an improvement. The old part number 4692158aa has been replaced with 4692158ab. I think this part should be replaced free of charge on a recall as the problem appears to be nationwide based on the websites i have read comments. Further, many dealers are apparently taking advantage of the customers by selling them parts they do not need because they are not testing the bcm or voluntarily choosing to find the problem after the customer has fed the dealer coffers for batteries and alternators, etc.
