Default BCM for 99 firdbird trans am

About a year ago my windows and radio stopped working, now my convertible top and 1 of my headlights wont go down. I took it into th shop and they said that the previous owner had put dielectric grease to make it work but now im losing power in some componets. Does anyone know websites or places i should go to find a bcm that will work with my car?

The windows and radio issue is probably the infamous cold solder problem in the BCM. It's easy to fix... https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...blems-fix.html.

The other problems are unrelated to the BCM, so they would have different resolutions. Your headlight issue is probably a damaged gear - do you hear a grinding noise when operating the headlights?

It is quite possible that your convertible top problem is a dead circuit breaker - especially since it shares the circuit breaker with the windows which aren't working either. The circuit breaker is in the fuse panel at the left end of the dash. The easiest fix is to replace it with a 30A fuse, but you could order a replacement circuit breaker if you like. I would try a fuse first because they're very inexpensive... see if it solves the problem then decide on whether to get a new circuit breaker. Convertible tops in general are known to have failures in the cylinders or even the pump, but I'd check the cheaper electrical stuff first.
