Radio shuts off turns back on all the time?? OK quick back round have a aftermarket radio, driving down the road it just shuts off, then turns back on and the windows stop working as well. So i started at the fuse box when its off and nothing, then i figured a loose ground well checked all under the hood (2 on the radiator cross member, and one on each fender well, block ground by the Alternator) i took all the off cleaned them with a wire wheel and sprayed w/ protector. i couldn't seem to find any grounds under the dash. if there is 1 or some and someone knows please let me know. well after all this still happens. switched back to OEM radio does the same thing. i'm at a loss and wondering if this has happened to anyone else i feel it is a ground issue due to the fact a bump sets it off or hard acceleration or just the car running at a light. any help or ideas would be awsome. if you have any other questions just ask. thank you |
sounds Body control module related... or ignition switch/wiring |
mind you nothing else in the car is effected |

ok thanks on a side not i have also noticed that when taking the key out the radio and windows dont always stay working.... may be ignition problem? |
1 Attachment(s) its your BCM, pop that thing out are re-solder the 5 connections, it takes an hour tops and it works like a charm, happens to most of us :cheers: Attachment 613296 |
^ thank you i was just gonna ask if anyone has a pic.! |
Awesome info. Mine does exactly what the op described. I thought bcm but wasn't sure because I have an after market stereo. Now I know. |
I've already got it out and heading for the soldering iron. |
this will be my weekend project for sure unless i end up with a new gun after the gun show. :usa: |
:nod:Thanks, I think u just solved my problem!:nod: |
I had the same problem , it took me awhile to figure it out . I checked everything ground,replaced the head unit . Looked on here turns out it was the bcm causing it . It takes all of 30 mins to fix. |
Mine does the same thing but haven't fixed it yet. I found out to make it turn back on you need to HOLD the window button UP on and while u do that lock and unlock the doors like 2 times and itl turn back on, its weird but it works |
yes all your problems are the bad solder joint in the bcm and not hard to fix at all, just a little pita to get the damn board out. |

Fixed that one and all is well. I found that I could make the radio cut off just by shaking the BCM before. Took me a while to commit to that fix as I have had two aftermarket Alarms with remote start installed and the wiring was a bit of a mess. Had to fix some shitty wiring practices the installer used first to insure that wasn't the issue. |
my stereo shuts off and on as well too. but my windows work fine. also my lights dim and get brighter and a quick pace. i was thinking alternators getting weak since it takes like 2 mins to kill my batter with the stereo on my hvac lights also stay off until after the car heats up, then i can flick the hvac panel and it will shut the lights off and sometimes even kick them right back on... |
Thank you for giving me the solution to a problem that has been perplexing me all of last summer haha. |
Just did this a week ago. Pulled the bcm and found the bottom solder joint of the t shape was brown n cracked. Resoldered n have had zero problems since. My windows even roll up faster now. Thanks guys:) |
I was just able to fix a lot of issues in my car with this little bit of info I am still having a major problem though I can drive on the city streets all day long as soon as I hit the freeway though about 10 to 30 miles it will just shut off does anybody have any ideas please |
