Sounds like they didn't fix it? Did it do it when you picked it up? This is a generic list but it provides good insight.
The BCM provides the following features:
• Automatic door locks
• Battery protection
• Chimes
• Compass/mini-trip support
• Courtesy lamps
• BCM diagnostic support
• Door lock inhibit
• Headlamp time delay
• Ignition key lamp
• Illuminated entry
• Instrument panel dimming
• Mechanical instrument cluster support
• Power door locks (with/without remote keyless entry)
• Sliding door memory lock
• Vehicle Theft Security system (VTSS)
• Windshield wipers / washers (front and rear)

These are features that are programable to the BCM.... they just didn't finish the job and program 'em. Not sure about the keypad, but instructions for programing the auto unlock are in the owners manual.

That sounds like what they did to me when they replaced my radio, I had no idea the radio controled so many other things. They NEVER reprogramed the dang thing before they returned the truck and when I got home the door chime about blew out your ear drums among other things. The dealer was an hours drive away so I took it to another dealer, told them the problem, and 10 minutes later it was fixed. Seems like the other dealers "wrench" was trying to maximize his flat rate time sped through the job without completing the set up. Guess who's NOT going back to dealer #1 again?

These people are idiots!! I was told to look in my manual on how to program personal preferences, I will be dam well surprised to see a section on how to program the door locks to unlock when put in park. I'm waiting for the service manager to call back!!!

Who's an idiot?
07 H3 Owners Manual (page 193)

With the engine off, turn the key to LOCK. Do not remove the key from the ignition. 2. Press and hold the power door lock button for about three seconds until the DIC display shows the current door lock mode.3. To view the next available mode, press and hold the reset stem for about two seconds. Release the reset stem and press and hold again to view each mode. 4. Once the desired mode is shown on the DIC display, briefly press the reset stem to set your choice. The DIC display will then clear. The following are the available modes: Lock 1 (default): On vehicles with an automatic transmission, this mode locks all of the doors when the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P) and unlocks all of the doors when the vehicle is shifted into PARK (P). On vehicles with a manual transmission, this mode locks all of the doors when the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h) and unlocks all of the doors when the key is removed from the ignition.

Steve #1 thanks for the nice reply.... One thing I forgot to add in my last post is, the doors don't..... lock when I put it in drive and there is no option for that!!, the remote lock's the doors but does not unlock the doors, so there is something still screwed-up.
PS I did try the procedure and it is in Lock 1 (default)

Man that really sucks!!. So far so good for me since they replaced the BCM, I still have to bring it back so they can reprogram a few things they didn't do the last time, they also cracked my fuse box cover, I'm just waiting for them to call to say it's in to go back and get every thing done.

Hi Gents -
New poster here. I was glad to see after 5min of searching others have seen the problem I did with my 2006 H3 last night. Just got home from the airport (45min drive) and turned off my rig. When we opened the doors to get out, I immediately noticed the dome light didn't come on. I tryed to start it again and, nothing, completely dead.
Further:
- The key was stuck in the ignition
- the horn didn't work
- the button on the shifter (automatic) was locked
- no power at all, anywhere
I told my babe to keep the front doors open so I could get a flashlight. She gets her suitcase out of the back and slams the back door, and EUREKA everything comes back on. Full power, etc. I did notice when I started it up that the orange lights in the middle of all the knobs were flashing (temp knobs, etc)- but I was too tired to mess with it at that point.
Thanks for the info on the BCM- it seems I have a similar problem. 19K miles and not one problem to this point.
Other symptoms:
- the right signal light started flashing much faster than normal the day before this happened
- My radio has had two problems
1) One FM1 it can't store the bass and treble settings- always have to reset
2) for the last 6months, about 50% of the time it loses the time and on restart it comes up with some random time
Please let me know if any of you guys have solved your problems with the BCM. I can tell this is the classic intermittent problem where the dealership will tell me they cant get to fail when I bring it in. I am trying to save myself some angst with your help!
Thanks-
Albert

Black Bear had a time with the BCM and others have had electrical gremlins too. It's not the norm but stuff happens that's a pain in the rear from time to time. Sometimes I wonder if the BCM is grounded properly from some of these posts. If you'll notice there are grounding straps all over the H3 and many other new cars now. These "computers" are very strange when it comes to voltage and One Volt too high or low can give them fits. There are things all over the vehicle sending data back and forth to several computers and when you get one errant signal the whole process mucks up. A good example might be the rear locker in the rear of the Adventure Package. I don't remember who posted it and I'm too lazy to do a search myself but the E-Locker is always sending a small voltage signal back somewhere saying it's still there and still available to work. It's only about 4 volts if I remember correctly so it won't take much of a signal interruption from a bad ground to totally throw off a 4 volt signal. Maybe that's why the major car companies a couple years ago were talking about raising voltages in cars to 24 or more volts. The demand of todays new cars is just too great for a 12 volt system to handle sometimes.
RE: electrical problem!!!! - 
. While the negative appeared to be locked down- Low and behold, I swivel it on the negative battery terminal about 1/2 millimeter back and forth 
. I took it off, cleaned the terminal, and locked it down. It appears my problem is solved! My radio keeps the correct time now. The fast blinker on my signal is a burnt bulb in the rear. I talked to my bud who owns a service station and he told me these rigs are notorious for electrical problems. The main culprits are grounds all over the truck and the BCM.
