Default weird problem

Every time my radio shorts out I lose door panel control, no windows no unlock only lock.... if I try to unlock it the car does a really fast ding ding ding ding ding.... While I'm driving the radio randomly shuts off for a few seconds then turns back on, annoying but no big deal, now however the radio is staying off and now I can roll down windowsor anything. I've checked all the fuses and everything is still good.... Any ideas?

It's the solder joints in the BCM that's causing your issues. They just need to be resoldered, it's a common problem and an easy fix, I had to do the same on my T/A. Here's the thread you need, I'm not sure if the photos will show up anymore, but if they don't I know there's some floating around on here:

Problem fixed, I cut a couple corners for removing the bcm but oh well it works now, and I also got rid of that damn door chime that never shuts up lol
