electric problem maybe bcm?
1998 GMC Jimmy it has auto head lights. My problem is intermittent,
sometimes I loose power to the heater, radio, interment panel (speed,
tach, warning lights, fuel, etc) power outlets, but the car still
runs. If I manually turn on head lights I hear a clicking sound under
mid dash area. Then everything starts working.
I thought maybe it was the wiring harness from the firewall up the
steering column but that did not fix it. I then cleaned the ground
wire from the battery to the engine but still have the problem.
Today I ran a new ground wire from the firewall to the engine and it
seems OK. Then a test drive and I hit a bump and off the power went.
It must be a connection from the fire wall to the interior but I dont
now where to look.
I have seen on line it could be the bcm module. IF so where is this located?
Any ideas of what to look for would be appreciated.
