99 Denali wiring from BCM

My 99 Denali is having multiple electrical issues. I have the dash lights come intermittently, such as brake, 4x4, ABS, security, engine, etc. I have no radio, clock, power windows, locks, wipers, sound, etc. I pulled the center console off and found the BCM. On the part labeled with "D E F" there is a grey or maybe brown thicker wire coming from it. When I push down on it everything works again and all dash lights go away. I thought it had too much tension and that was problem but now after 2 days of driving everything went out again. Do you think the wire/s just moved again? What else could it be? It seems when I turn the steering wheel to the left the power will go out. If I touch the wipers at all or the windows the power will go out. I do hear clicking where the fuse box is by the driver side door. Can you help me figure out the colors of the wires and what each one does? A picture of the inside of the console would really help too, if you think I can match them up and see what looks different. Thanks for your help!

    black or brown is ground red is negative I believe, you can check the gmc website for colors; did you pull a fuse, cause some cars if you pull a fuse sometimes they are connected to the whole car and you would have to get it programmed again at the dealer , my friend had to do that trying to get the door chime to stop and everything went off like yours?

My 2001 astro van emergency light and abs light come on at the same time ,sometimes any one knows why thanks

They only come on sometimes ?
Brake Warning Indicator
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the brake warning indicator when the following occurs:
?€¢
The body control module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.


?€¢
The EBCM detects a low brake fluid condition and sends a class 2 message to the IPC.


?€¢
The IPC performs the bulb check.


?€¢
An ABS-disabling malfunction also disables dynamic rear proportioning (DRP).

ABS Indicator
The IPC illuminates the ABS indicator when the following occurs:
?€¢
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects an ABS-disabling malfunction. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.


?€¢
The IPC performs the bulb check.


?€¢
The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the EBCM.

sounds like you have an intermittent problem for now ! a wiring issue or wheel speed sensor going bad. Need to check for codes in abs module , that will give you an Idea where to look first. These systems can set a lot of codes, component codes , wiring codes etc... need to know what code first.

Tiburon ABS and Brake Lights on - No diagnostics code

A few years ago, my Sons Hyundai Sonata had some strange problems with his ABS and brake lights staying on. It turned out , the brake light switch at the bottom of the brake pedal had come loose. I tightened it up and it has been ok ever since. Just a thought but anything is possible these days with all the electronics in cars.

The 4x4 light stays on

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS, TPMS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

Legend of Abbreviations. ABS Anti-lock brake system. TCS Traction control system, TCM Transmission control module, SRS Supplemental restraint system, BCM Body control module. TPMS Tire Pressure Monitor System

99 gmc denali dash light, parking lights, tail lights, and dash light dont work. Interior lights, brake lights, blinkers, headlights work Turning on the headlight switch blows number 15 drl-fog fuse...

You have a short to ground somewhere in the drl-fog lamp circuit. Check for obvious wiring connector or wiring to drl & fog lamps. check wiring for pinched or broken wires coming from sockets. If you don't find problem, you can trace wiring from lamps to main harnesses and hopefully find source of short.
hope this helps.

ABS Problem in my 2000 Jimmy 4x4

the best way to diagnose this problem would be with a scan tool while driving and watching the speed sensors, or check all your wheel tone rings make sure there are no cracks and they are clean, also have the computer scaned for abs codes there should be a code that may tell you which wheel speed sensor is acting up,you can also check the wiring, these seem to chaf the wiring by the control arm .a bad wheel bearing may also cause this problem, i would start with a scan of the abs system,good luck.

My 99' volvo v70 continually flashes the traction control and abs warning light and the speedometer stops working the trip meter and the odometer go blank than all of a sudden it will start working again...

Sounds like a bad ABS control module is at least part of your problem. The symptoms are usually and ABS and TRACS light intermittent or constand and eventually your speedometer works intermittently or totally quits. This guy rebuilds/upgrades them for about $140. New ones run over $800. http://home.earthlink.net/~vicrocha/Volvo_Parts/Volvo_ABS_removal.htm

99 LS400, VSC light goes on intermittently on start up.

Doubtful it's an intermittent electrical problem. Far more likely you've got a wheel speed sensor issue. Since VSC gets all it's information from the ABS system, start by pulling the trouble codes. I bet you'll see an ABS code. Read this post
