    Dude, you just described and touched on every single problem I am having with my 2008 Chevy HHR. Rear door hatch will not open (unless you put a fuse in an empty fuse position). My rear wiper on that door will not work although it does when you bypass the relay under the engine compartment fuse box. Rear left passenger door window will not roll up and down or is intermittent. ABS and Traction dash lights are on yet. There are no issues with those things. I just bought this a few days ago and I swear it feels like it is possessed. The funny thing? The car engine and transmission runs so damn well it rides smooth like a new car. I am a gigging musician who travels and needs the space in the back for some of my equipment. I thought these would be easy fixes. Speed sensors are working fine as they are relaying back perfect information and hooked up to a very expensive scanner can clear the lights but they just come on again. If I buy a new one or a used one, I hear they have to be programmed? Can only the dealer do this?

Programmed everything perfect. The only thing that is not working is the traction control button probably need to have that programmed. But everything else is great now.

    I believe I fried the BCM on my '06 Taurus several years ago while doing an oil change. My filter wrench shorted out against the hot wire to the starter which Ford engineers decided did NOT need a rubber boot covering it. Always disconnect the battery cable or at the very least, wrap electrical tape around the band on the filter wrench on these vehicles.

    Need help; mazda cx5 with interior lights malfunction, headlamps dim, lock actuators malfunction and click constantly, trunk won’t open at times, car alarm won’t set occasionally, heat/ac does trippy stuff, radio acts up and now CEL with codes p013A, u0401:00 and u3003:16. I’m thinking it’s BCM but alternative solutions can be passenger side ground wire bolt has been painted during possible previous body work creating issue grounding (apparently a common issue with these vehicles) but ground wire could create some of my issues but doesn’t match everything. Wondering it 02 sensor code (p013A) is a separate issue or somehow connected to ground wire issue or even BCM faulty? Any suggestions?

    I have a 2011 Sonata LE that has a sunroof. Sometimes it work, but usually not. I see there are two fuses that service the Sunroof: a 7.5A fuse that also has BCM on it (column 5,mrow 2) as well as a 20a fuse on column 4, row 4). I think a short to the Sunroof switch or motor is draining my battery overnight, or two nights. If I pull the BCM Module 2 fuse, will it affect anything else? Thanks.

It used to work before I replaced the BCM but after replacing, it no longer works. Is this something that can be controlled by the BCM? And can it still be programmed in there? In other words, did somebody not program it to work sorry for all the questions. Everything else came back to life except this one thing. And of course it’s bothering the hell out of me.

Checked wire harness, & wires. They look like they're in good shape. I checked all my grounds, they were still connected well. What could be the reason for them codes still?

The guy who looked at it said that the BCM is faulty and I remember a few years back water was coming into the vehicle from top of the windshield that was not properly sealed.......seems it got into the BCM which is under the dash. Now I can't get a BCM because Kia no longer manufacture for the 2011 model. I have been searching every website I know of, but nothing.
    What my tech can't tell me is if there is a way to modify the BCM since I can't get a replacement or does it mean my vehicle is now dead and done for since I can't drive at nights without lights.

    Hi great video, they have made these vehicles do hard to work on. I have a 19 Kia Sorento, LX V6 AWD, when I open the doors the interior lights don't come on. Tested the Map/Dome light assembly and it's works 100%. What would be the next step, replacing the BCM or is there a designated relay for the lights?

      Take it to someone who knows what they’re doing- electrical issues are best diagnosed by a professional. These newer cars are so sensitive with their complex wiring and sometimes dozens of control modules that its not worth saving a few bucks trying to do it yourself

      Check the harness for the driver's door. Pull out the bellows and look for broken wires. It's a common problem. Pull the wires one at a time using your index finger. If the insulation stretches, the conductors are severed. Repair wires.

    Hi there, I have a 2019 Chevy Equinox which has all sorts of intermittent electrical issues such as some or all power windows don't work for days and sometimes all work, sometimes the driver side door won't lock/unlock and sometimes it does, sometimes the interior lights works and sometimes it doesn't, sometimes the display changes from audio to android phone and vice versa and sometimes everything seems just fine and so on and so forth. This has been happening on and off since almost a year now after I bought this brand new. All fuses and relays seems good. Neither the Chevy service center nor auto electrical technicians can figure out the problem. Already spent some $$$ and these issues still remain, though the car drives great otherwise. Could this be the BCM issue or something else? Please advise. Thank you.

      @@grumpyoldrockers1048 LOL, the invisible predator in the car is getting energized by sucking up the charges. But jokes aside, after carefully watching a lot of videos on CZcams, I bought a multimeter and a test light and am about to diagnose the culprit myself in piecemeal by first checking all fuses and relays again and then the connectors, modules, harnesses and finally the ECM, PCM. Have you found out the problems in your 2008 Chevy HHR yet?

      @@earthlycreature8772 oh yeah I know what the problems are. OK the main problem is the ABS and traction light are on. Did a live road test and the wheel sensors are great and all four work in tandem and are giving great readings so we know it’s not the wheel sensors. We clear those lights and we can drive it for miles and miles. Not a problem they won’t come on. Soon as I turn the car off, and turn it back on, Bam the lights come back on. The rear hatch lock won’t open. But there is an empty fuse in the main fuse box number 11 if you put a fuse in there, the hatch will open and close perfectly. But that is an empty fuse slot. But somehow it bypasses the BCM. Same thing with the rear window wiper, it doesn’t work at all, but we jumper the relay and the rear wiper works perfectly! Then I have an intermittent Door window switch. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. all these things as described in this great video are controlled by the BCM. I’ve checked the BCM for faulty, wiring or ground problems, that’s not it. I’ve got a bad BCM.

      @@grumpyoldrockers1048 Please share how you made out? I am getting ready to Get a refurbished Pre-Programmed BCM for my 2010 Impala.. I took out the BCM to get the Part number off it and opened it up to look at the board and It looks Perfect.. So I am hesitating on buying the newer one.. I have been having intermittent No Crank No Start issues the Usually Start with Warning Chimes, Service Everything Messages, Gauges go Crazy back and forth, Door Locks on/Off Constantly, Shifts get Rough BUt not Limp Mode and sometimes it actually goes into limp mode.. Once I shut it off for a while then begins a No Crank No Start... Most of the times a can Disconnect Battery and then it gets back to normal.. Took it to dealer and they got me for a $800 for diagnosis fee and New Starter.. Worked for 2 days and No Crack No Start.. Finally get it Started and Limped it back to Dealership.. They had it for 3 weeks and Couldn't recreate the problem... They were leaning towards Bad BCM and wanted $450 for new BCM and wouldn't charge me for labor... I took it back from them and it worked for 5 days great Until this Past Saturday... Any Help from anyone would be much appreciated.

    I've got a loss of communication to the BCM on 03 LB7 sierra, won't truck allow it to run like the security is shutting it down (fires over and dies) however no security light on the dash, ive also got through the relearn procedure several times incase. In order to start the truck I have to turn
    1. disconnect the batteries
    2.turn the key to the first position
    3. Hold the positive cables to the negative cables for 10 seconds.
    4. Reconnect battery cables to terminals.
    5. Turn the key the rest of thebway to start position, it will fire and run.
    After shutting off it will restart until it times out.
    I'm suspecting a can bus or data wire between the FICM and BCM has open circuit.
    This problem has been put on the back burner for since the fall, I'm about to get back into it. Any lead you can give would be a god send. Tha ks for the video!
