The Nissan Vanette is a light van and minibus from the 1980s and 1990s that predates the widespread use of Body Control Modules in Nissan vehicles — it used simple, discrete wiring and relay-based electrical systems rather than a centralised BCM unit. No variant of the Vanette, whether petrol, diesel, or the later cargo versions, was fitted with a Body Control Module as standard. If you are having electrical issues such as problems with lights, wipers, or central locking, the fault is more likely in a fuse box, relay, switch, or individual wiring loom component.
It is very likely the garage is referring to a relay, fuse box assembly, or a specific control unit such as a timer relay for the wipers or a separate immobiliser module, rather than a true Body Control Module, as the Vanette did not have one. Older Nissan commercial vehicles of this era used individual relays and switches to control each electrical function independently. We would suggest going back to the garage to ask them to identify the exact part number or component name so you can search for the correct used part.
While the Vanette has no BCM, breakers can typically supply individual components such as relay boxes, fuse boards, ignition switches, wiper motor assemblies, and instrument clusters, depending on the year and variant of your vehicle. When contacting a breaker, quote your full registration or the vehicle's chassis number so they can confirm the exact electrical part that matches your van. These older parts can be rare, so casting your search wide across multiple breakers is advisable.
No — newer Nissan vans such as the Primastar or NV200 use entirely different electrical architectures, and even if a BCM from one of those vehicles could be physically located, the Vanette's wiring system was never designed to accept or communicate with a BCM unit. Fitting a modern BCM to a Vanette would not be a like-for-like repair and is not a practical solution. A specialist auto-electrician familiar with older commercial vehicles would be the best person to diagnose and resolve the underlying electrical fault.
