I have a 2001 trans am WS6 that is having issue's with the radio cutting out & the windows don't work. This is a pain ..can't figure out what is wrong with this. Bought the car brand new nothing has been messed with in the radio..can someone help

 

As has been mentioned several times in this thread (and dozens of others) there is a fix in the BCM that takes care of those symptoms. A search would have found it but here you go: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-l...blems-fix.html

 

What about my problem? Idk wtf is up. Iv switched wires and nothing.

 

Have you checked the dark blue wire at the BCM as suggested earlier?

 

No. I posted in the bcm thread a while back and was told its not related to my problem

 

No, that was my response and you were told that the BCM fix discussed in that thread wasn't related to your problem. Nobody said it wasn't a BCM problem just that it wasn't that particular BCM problem. Quite the opposite... the thread discusses fixing radio and windows cutting out intermittently whereas your radio won't shut off.

Somehow you are getting constant (battery) power on a wire that should have retained accessory power (RAP). The RAP circuit is controlled by the BCM so your first step is to find out if the BCM is producing constant power on the RAP output wire. If it is then the BCM is the problem. If it isn't then somebody has messed with the wiring to the radio.

 

have you gotten a meter out and physically verified constant 12 volt and switched 12 volt wires

 

thank you for your help. Went to find the BCM behind the glove box could not find anything there. It looks like a circuit board from a computer ?? thanks

 

No, the BCM is a black box about the size of a paperback book with three connectors plugged into it. You have to remove it and open it up to get to the solder joints on the circuit board.

 

ah i see now. i feel stupid
ill get back to you on the BCM later in the week.
