Default Door Lock and dome light/map light question

My car was down for a while...now the door locks do not work..when I push the lock or unlock button the door, I hear a clicking noise under the passenger side dash. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Also....The dome light and the map lights on the rear view mirror are not working either...Fuses and bulbs are good..Anyone have any suggestions here?

Thanks in advance

All of those items are controlled by the BCM. It's possible you need to replace the BCM (although I can't imagine why lack of use would make it go bad).

The BCM is located in the dash on the passenger side, so I would guess that you have a bad relay in the BCM. Figure out which one and replace it, and you should be good to go.

Sorry, the BCM is an integrated electronic box with no serviceable parts (at least according to GM). I've never opened one but the schematics don't show anything like a normal relay inside.

Yeah, you're right.
I dunno what the heck I was thinking of.
Getting my cars confused again...
