Default BCM Going out.

I made a post about a week or 2 ago. It seems each time I hit a bump, radio would cut out and would turn on and off for a couple secs. It then made my lights in my dash go all out. Vid is here. (sorry for crappy vid)

I opened up my bcm and it seems to have like a hairline crack on the bottom port. I made an illustration. If i solder it again, will it make this problem go away?
Heres my illustration. microsoft paint.


The dark line would be the hairline crack around the port.

BCM's are pretty cheap. Get another one.

Mine was plug and play.

DONT BEND THE WIRES..bad things happen.

All you need to do is re-solder that area you are referring to and it will go away. You have it right and those are the correct places to solder. I did mine a long time ago and never had an issue since. Hardest part was getting the BCM out.

Last time I checked and read on here they were around 300. I dont have that type of money at the moment.
It was a plug and play because once you turned on the ignition switched, It installed itself to your car settings, just like the old one you had.
Which wires are you referring to?

Ok guys... turns out thats not the problem. Lights still blink and the car seems to turn off when they go on while im driving... also the car is not responding the way it should.
what could my options be? should I plug in a computer and find out if there is anything wrong with it?
