Another Sign?

I think I noticed another symptom of a bad BCM now that it's not presenting after putting the original one back in.

The chime would sound as if I'd left it in accessory mode when I opened the door to get in quite often.

All of the switches and sensors for the doors, lights and power go through the BCM before heading to the instrument panel to generate the chime.

I think I simply got a bad BCM back in August of '18 and it's been slowly degenerating over the past 28 thousand miles.  I blame removing lead from solder.

I wonder if tin whiskers are all up inside that thing.

    Lead free solder does in fact suck. It tends to be harder to work with, doesn't adhere as well and more brittle than old fashioned solder.
