Hey Everyone,
Figured I'd make this a separate thread from my Efan question, and quickly before the Ambien kicks in! (Edit: Already has, posted this in the Tahoe Forum accidentally)
Since I've bought the truck i've started having a few strange issues, the biggest happened tonight as I had took the dash apart and was installing the correct mounting bracket for the Nav unit I bought. The door locks and windows didn't work at all. This has happened previously but removing the Door Control Module and unplugging/plugging back in would fix it.
I assume based on reading other threads this is the Driver Side Door Control Module going bad, after swapping it with the Passenger side and it working fine to lock/unlock so I've got that in the mail and it should be here Thursday, hopefully.
The next though and it may be related to the first is that the door lights only sometimes work when opening the driver door. Is this related to the Control Module?
Next after going to Autozone and then Lowes for some screws for the Metra bracket when I came back none of the car lights or dash came on at all. Didn't start either, nothing. I had assumed maybe because the dash was out could have caused it or a dome light being left on? When I came back out with my roommate later to juimp it off, it magically started just fine.
Then a new issue arises, the 12v switched power I pulled from so the radio turns on/off when the car is on/off now only stays on. Take the keys out, and it stays on, luckily I can shut it off quickly but I'm not sure how much power it will eat in Standby.
The other Issue that appeared is that the passenger low beam was dead, I tried shutting the car off, pulling the negative for a few minutes, replaced all 4 fuses in the fuse box, even tried to short the Pink/White wire on the 28-Way connector to see if the low lights came on to see if it was the BCM but it still didn't come on...so from what I gather that should mean it's good right?
Maybe it is all a bunch of coincidences stemming from the Control Module but I figured there might be a bit more to do with it. It's just weird that everything went to crap all at once. lol.
