"Hey guys,

I was just wondering if any others have ever had any electrical problems with the car. I have had to take my car to the dealership on 3 separate occasions to get my BCM (Body Control Module) replaced. Its a major pain, electrical stuff just stops working 1 by 1 until almost nothing works. Currently I am driving a 2003 car that I still owe 14k on, neither window works, no AC, no blinkers, no power locks...nada. Not being able to use AC is one thing, but can't roll the windows down either?!? I'm in Florida and it sucks. I've had to resort to driving down the road while holding my door cracked just to get a little air. Oh wait, forgot a whole different list of problems, my door chime continues to ding even with doors closed driving down the road, air bag light has come on and no rear taillights. The dealership just had my car for 2 and a half weeks, they give it back saying that they are not sure whats wrong but that they think an aftermarket car alarm I got installed is causing the problem. I had it professionally installed and contacted some local places, all said that it shouldn't cause any electrical problems. I'm gonna get the alarm taken off and take my car back to the dealership again, but I dunno if they will even be able to fix the problem since they have failed in the past.

I missed the lemon law by like 40 days =(

Thanks for the input everyone..

i think the dealer is a fuck head, but this is nuts has anyone else heard of this? i also own an 03 i wonder if its with that year.

uhhh he has a short somewhere.. i havent had a problem with anythign eectrical except the sunroof...
but i took teh fuse out for that....

his aftermarket alarm/ radio probably fucked everything up
maybe something not connected

nisco from what i heard this "bcm" goes bad alot. on this other site people are haveing alot of the same problems i am and thier dealers are telling them its the bcm. and always in the 03's these people are having problems. this problem im having myself and it fkn sucks. i have everthing stock as far as electrical so there was no mods in this area..???
