A fuse holder in the Body Control Module fails intermittently. The service manual leads in two directions. Direction A leads you to replace the HVAC control module. Direction B leads you to replace the BCM. I flipped a coin and took A, and didn't actually repair the problem. I am extremely angry that a block of fuses is integrated into the BCM and that the holders for those fuses are inside the sealed off unit, requiring a complete replacement BCM ($250) and Tech2 programming to fix a faulty solder joint on the fuse holder. |
