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.
