    Remote Window Operation?

    You did not state if you had an alarm or not... Not sure if you can do this with just the factory key fob remote. Maybe, just maybe, someone has figured out how to do that. For me ...you would be better served by stepping up to a new alarm. I'm 100% sure you can do what you want, roll up and...

I would suggest you continue with search in the forum to ensure that is actually the issue. If it really is the BCM here is my experience, FYI...

    I second what Denali2k8 said AMSOIL Assuming nothing is suspect, like metal in oils when you drain 'em.... Change these fluids once and "ferget'bout it"

    Is this a BCM failure?

    The members suggesting the ground issue is consistent with the symptoms listed under 1, 2 & 3. Ground wire contact cleaning and sealing or even quality Big three (or more) wire replacement are a much cheaper fix than a BCM. Those are not cheap! Speaking from experience...I had BCM go bad with...
