I'm absolutly sick of the problems my car is giving me in cold weather and I am 99.999% sure its a bad connection somewhere either around or perhaps even in the body control modual... but me looking at the wires back there is like a drunk autistic irishman trying to read chinese brail... its just not happening. Does anyone know thier way around the body control modual and the wires back there enough and be willing to take an hour or so to look over my car?
Break it down for you quick, whever its below freezing the electronics refuse to let you start the car... you have to sit and wait for a ticking noise to develop, which turns into the seatbelt bell sound, at which point the security light stops blinking (at the same frequency as the ticking) and then can start the car normally. The dome lights and locks even flash at the same pace as the ticking and operating the windows or lights causes you to have to wait until the ticking resumes, sometimes several minutes when its cold cold out! The radio works fine, you can blast away and the battery is perfect... so it HAS to be the BCM (and considering it actually has to do with EVERY electronic device giving me grief it HAS to be the problem). ive lived with the inconvinience long enough but now its getting to the point where sometimes i have to actually disconnect the battery and reset the computer to get the ticking noise to even START as the security light will just stay on and not let you do a damn thing... the other night it took almost a half hour for me to get the car started AND THERE IS NOTHING MECHINCALLY WRONG WITH IT!! runs awesome! starts awesome! when the cars warm or started in a warm place, not a damn thing is wrong!
anywho i'm blabbering... i ****ing hate it and its making me hate the car... either all the wires need to be double checked or the BCM replaced, but i cant make that call myself.
anyone willing to look it over? i work at circuit city and i had the alarm dudes look at it but they know general things about car electronics... i need someone who knows the wiring and bcm for a trans am
i found some awesome info on the internet but its still way over my head at
