I recently bought a new BCM for a 2009 Infiniti FX50S. On installing new BCM, there was total blackout; no more ignition light. How can I programme the new BCM to work with my car?

What is the year/make/model/option package of the car? There is no way to answer this question without background on the vehicle itself. – Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ Feb 1 '16 at 18:04

Also, expand acronyms in the title and when they are first used - what is a BCM? – JPhi1618 Feb 1 '16 at 18:11

The suspense was killing me - Body Control Module. – JPhi1618 Feb 1 '16 at 20:19

Initializing a BCM for your vehicle requires a special Nissan dealership tool.
This is a theft prevention measure in order to thwart criminals from plugging in a BCM and stealing the vehicle.
The BCM contains information related to digital key security related to the key fob.
The BCM has a serial number that would be required to be entered into the initialization device which then issues a PIN you put into a software application that will initialize the BCM for the first time. Following initialization and installation a new fob would need to be associated with the device.
You will need to goto an Infiniti or Nissan dealership or a shop that has the appropriate tools to perform this task.
