Weird stereo/windows problem (don't think it's the bcm)

There is a thread floating around that has a picture of the solder points. I have it somewhere to, I will see if I can find it later. It is on here somewhere though.

Alright I'm getting pissed... This has been going on for a few months now. It started with the Radio/Windows cutting out randomly. But if I gave the dash a light smack above the radio is would work again. Now last week another little goof has started. My interior lights don't come on if I open my drivers door and the Accessory power stays on like I didn't close the door. So I took apart the BCM yesterday and It looked perfect! No burn marks on the board or anything. So now I'm stumped! Anyone have any Ideas?
Did this all start when the weather got warm? If so, its probably cracked solder joints. See Kee's post for the fix.
We're all headed towards this issue sooner or later. I just had to fix the same type of problem on my radio display. PITA to get to but an easy fix.

Best option is to just re-solder the connections on the BCM you have and put it back in. It doesn't usually have to be replaced, a little solder and a regular soldering iron can have it fixed in a few minutes. I just heated up that points that are there and added a little bit to them. Fixed it perfectly.

Mine was a crack in the circuit board of the BCM, if you flexed the board you could see it open up, otherwise it looked perfect.
Easy way to check, is open up the bcm, but have it plugged in. With your radio, etc on, flex the board and see if the radio powers off. Thats how I found my issue.
Then I just soldered a jumper wire from one solder point, to the next down line.
Repaired!
