It looks now however I might wait till Mon. or Tues. to find out more, I have a brother whom is a very high certified mobile car audio installer and after talking to him he said I could bring in the car to the shop some late afternoon and well take a closer look at it then with shop equipment he has and start testing the wires so ill keep ya posted on how that goes. I should let you know since I also saw you asking but if indeed we do need new BCM's i just checked gmpartdirect and it looks as if they have them for $160 shipped which would probably be the best bet since Im sure the dealers are going to cost more.

Yeah, I debated ordering my BCM from gmpartsdirect....but I really wanted it FAST....especially since so many BCM functions died on mine....so turned to the dealer. They got it for me the next day. It was so easy to install....I put it in my car during my lunch hour in the parking lot at work.

just an update. I fixed mine by zip tying all the wires to where it pulls the BCM towards the rear of the car. If you moved the BCM towards the front of the car, it would die.
This drastically helped it. It still might flicker every blue moon but wow is it much better. I'm happy and saved 250 bucks. (that's how much it costs at my local dealer)
