I have an 89 Daytona that is also chiming, I also have an 89 Lebaron GTC that I am parting out.
Would the BCM from the Lebaron fit into the Daytona? If so, where is the BCM located? Any help is appreciated Greg http://www.cardomain.com/ride/801038/1

Sorry, but the BCM does control the headlamp pop up & down motors, just not directly. Follow the wiring diagram in the FSM. The lead from the headlight switch goes to the BCM, then a signal lead goes from the BCM to the control module (and I think the relays under the hood for 91). In the older modules there was a circuit board with a lot of circuitry to control how long the motors ran when opening or closing. It appears all that circuitry was moved to the BCM in 1990. The older boxes and the newer while using the same plugs and mostly the same wiring pinouts, are not interchangeable, they work completely different inside. The 1990 squarish control module by the steering column has 3 relays and a few diodes in it and that is all (NO chips in it). When I bought my 90 Daytona the headlamps were always up. Changing the control module did not help. Replacing the BCM fixed the problem, though I have since had control module problems also. I was told by DC engineers that when the BCM can identify a problem, it goes into default mode. One signal it uses to alert it is in default is for the chime to operate when different features are used. Mine used to start chiming occasionally on left turn signal cancellation. I would have to turn off the ignition and turn it back on to stop the chiming. It didn't do it every left turn, but enough to be very aggravating. Barry ------------------------------
