Default I have a 4th Gen Electrical Question

Just gotta 2000 Catfish, both windows are inop. They don't make any sounds when I press the switches, so I'm pretty sure it's not the motors. also the fuse is good.

Only thing to do is pop out the switches and test power topower out when selected.
If power is available, and no power out, bad switch.
Test the return side the same way.

When one window switch doesn't work both will be rendered inoperable.
Go to the junk yard and grab two window switches
Replace both and your problem will be fixed

well the driver side still doesnt work, but the passenger side is again. Radio work intermittent. Someone at v6f-body said this is a known bad BCM solder problem?

Check the door jam wiring. have seen this on all makes an models. Pull the rubber boot back in the door jams and check for broken wires. They will randomly make contact and work till you open or close the door. Hope this helps!

Body control module sounds like it man. Any issues with the radio at the same time? But yeah, symptoms really sound like the bcm has crapped out on ya.

Ok guys i'm failing to see anything wrong with my BCM





I tried my 99 Firebird BCM in it, didn't fix the problem. Everything that normally works still worked with it.

Intermittent passenger window,and radio. They only work when they are BOTH working. I have yet to see the driver window work under any condition.
