BCM Fix
 
Well a while ago i posted about my BCM intermittently going bad, shutting down my power windows and turning off my radio.

Well i took off the glove box so i can have access to it and mess with it. Well everytime it went down if i took the connectors and shook it, power returned again. Today i decided to take it out and look at the pins on both sides. While taking out i realized it is alot easier to open up then i thought, and i found this. . . .

A broken solder on a relay

I cleaned off the corrosion that built up on the broken solder and resoldered it and so far so good.

Any questions just ask.

awesome, good work. hopefully thats all it was and you saved yourself a few bucks.

i wonder if anyone else with a similar issue would try to open theirs and check that same location.
