Exclamation Mazda 3 2004 hatchback fuse box replacement

Good day to you all!

First of all I'd like to state that I'm a newbie on this forum and you might call me a newbie when it comes to fixing my old faithful 1.6 litre 2004 Mazda 3. I try to do all possible maintenance and repairing on the car myself, with help of my friends and the internet. I hope I'm not posting this on the wrong part of the forum so please take it easy on me if I'm completely lost here.

Anyway I've been having electrical issues with my car for a long time now, including flickering lights on dash companied with bleeping sound and the dash lights not working all together at times. I expected that the issue lies in the fusebox after giving it a few light taps with the other end of a screwdriver, resulting the dash lights coming on and off. Today I got confirmation on a faulty fuse box (passenger side) after taking the car to a Mazda dealership. Unfortunately the spare part is EXTREMELY costly so my only option is to find a used part.

So my question is can I just simply order a fuse box with same part number as the one in my car? The numbers I've looked up all seem to be a bit different, with only matching series of numbers and letters at the beginning?
Secondly I'd like to know about the installation of a new fuse box. Do I need to re-program it to fit my car? Or is it as simple as removing the faulty part and plugging in the new one?

I'm also including a picture of the numbers on the side of my faulty fuse box, if there's someone who could perhaps make some sense out of them to me.

Thank you if you read through my issue and thank you even more if you left a reply!

You will need to purchase a BCM ( correct name) with exactly the same part number. It has to match all the calibrations of your car.
