Hands down its the BCM, theres a sticky around here somewhere on a simple trick to take it out and resodder one joint (at least for my windows), that worked like a charm.

oh uh, am i going to be able to see the fault or defect to fix? or am i suppose to go on reheating everything little thing?

Get it out, and you should be able to see it. The solder is going to be broken, or something. I did this with my car... It's kinda a pain to get out too.

sunset02ss

Would the BCM also control the alarm?

is this the reason my driver and pass side windows act up

What's going on with your alarm?

Usually when the windows act up then the radio will click off as well, but maybe could just be the windows, not 100% sure so I'm not going to give a definite answer.

The BCM solder fix affects only the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) circuit which provides power to the audio system and the windows. It has nothing to do with the turn signals ("blinkers" to use the technical term). It also will always affect both windows and the radio at the same time - if it doesn't then the RAP circuit isn't the problem.

The module near the gas pedal is the window express down module. It's what controls the one-touch down function of the driver's window. It's mounted in a little pocket at the base of the firewall behind the center console above the transmission tunnel (just to the right of the gas pedal). The part number is 12182126 which retails for $124 at the dealer but is available for $72 at gmpartsdirect.

So your alarm will randomly go off? Check out your shock sensor in the passenger side quarter panel and see if it's the issue. You will be able to disconnect the harness that's going to it and pull the actual sensor out. Pull it apart and check to see if moisture is in it and if so, take it apart and let it air out for the night. If you don't see any moisture or anything, you may need to replace it if you so choose.
Here's a picture for reference.

You can get a Hornet 727T from DEI (makers of Viper, etc.) that is an alarm system designed to integrate with factory keyless entry systems. It uses the factory remotes but adds shock sensor, a siren, a starter disable and can be upgraded with accessories such as perimeter or glass break sensors. I installed the older version (700T) and connected it to the factory LED on top of the dash so it looked completely stock. Adding the motion sensor meant I could leave the T-tops off and have the alarm sound if anyone reached inside.

Man! The thing with the windows and radio cutting out has been pissing me off for months!!! Thought it was hella weird and didn't see any posts on it so I never posted it up myself.

Thats funny you say that because the day it started doing it it was raining and now it has done it ever since thank you very much im going to just replace it and see what happens

No need to spend money and replace it at first. My previous camaro had moisture in it so I just took it out for the night to let it dry, then reinstalled and put some tape around the edges of the sensor to seal it up and didn't have anymore issues.

As far as the windows and radio going out I just by-passed the bcm so that the windows and radio doesn't go out anymore. You take the smaller plug that has the brown and blue wires and cut them and just join the two together, it doesn't let you have the 10 min power anymore but its worth it to me cause I can listen to the radio without it going out easy and free fix.

Too bad you didn't do some research first. You can fix the broken solder joints on the BCM circuit board in about the same amount of time and still keep your retained accessory power (RAP) circuit.
