messed up BCM Part of my BCM is busted... mainly the power locks part. Its causing a dead drain on my battery and tis really really pissing me off. If i just unplug it will the problem go away?
I dont mind manually locking/unlocking the doors, i just wont want to have to worry about "oh **** did i lock my door when i got out?" and coming out to a dead battery and not be able to get home.
I have the GM shop manuals for the car, so i can find out what has to be unplugged and eventually fixed/deleted, but until then i jsut dont want to have to worry about it

If the power lock circuit is the source of your problem, you can unplug the 6-pin green connector at the BCM to disable the circuit. It has five wires - all of them are connected to the power locks in one way or another.
You can't completely unplug the BCM and still expect the car to start. The disconnected VATS would prevent the starter from engaging and the PCM from enabling the fuel system.
BTW, I edited the thread title to clean it up. Please watch the language.
