as the title says, when i hit a bump my stero stops working but the weird thing is when this happens the windows will not go up or down. this just started today when i hit a bump i can do this to my gently smacking the dash above the cd player. where or what could my issue be? connection on back of my cd player seems good, its factory btw

 

check for bad solder joints on the BCM board.

 

ok . will try if there are what do i do just resolder them??

 

Yep, reheat + a little fresh solder and you're done. Common problem, easy fix.

 

ok thanks, found a old thread with everything about this... will be fixed tm.

 

ok i did this it fixed the windows/ stero but the light on my radio that shows station/ time is still dim??

 

Possibly a blown backlight bulb in the deck itself. Unrelated to the BCM.

 

Mine is so dim I can barely even see anything, is there a way to get in there to replace this bulb?

 

There is always a way

I've never done it. Never cared enough about my stock deck to bother since I swapped it with aftermarket.

 

lol..I was thinking the same thing, maybe its about that time to get rid of my factory unit, prob not even worth it to try and fix it. Question: Do you know if the BCM issues of the dash lights and radio flickering in and out will be a factor with an aftermarket unit?

 

There is no BCM issue with the lights. The bad solder joints affect the retained accessory power (RAP) circuit which affects the power windows and radio regardless of whether it is stock or aftermarket. It does not affect the lights in any way.

 

Got it...thanks for the heads up.
