I was adjusting my lumbar on driver side door panel and heard a chime and everything on my dashboard went out. All gauges are at zero and the heat and blower don't work. Also the electronic display which shows date and has all the information in it does not come on. I took my car to Autozone and they came out with the OBD II and it didn't recognize my car. They checked all my fuses and they are good. They mentioned it was my BCM. Where is it located and what is the expense. Can I get one at the junkyard?
Thats the computer or module-it may be bad--but it sounds mor like the instrument cluster is worn-u can remove it and trade it at napa for a rebuild------if its a module-theyr xpensiv-----try unplugin the computer and cleaning the pins-then replug--may clear up-----junkyards hav these but u would need to reprogram them to work in ur car--apartstore can show u the location of components
Odd ,really sounds like fuse blew.Seems odd the OBD didn't work. Anyway I think it's under the instrument panel ,by the e brake.Was on the earlier ones anyway.There are 2 boxes there ,far left is the BCM. Be cautious of the yellow air bag wiring.
Problem is,if you replace it the orignal problem is still there. Saw this problem once after someone used an unlocking tool on the drivers door.I would check that switch wiring or...possibly the wires inside the rubber boot that runs between the door and the body.They break there due to the use of the door,if the BCM gets its feed from the master switch.Just a thought. I don't have a wiring diag. of this car.
They used to call that BCM a MALL, malfunction alarm and lighting module.

The blower motor control module is under the dash on the inside of the passenger side. I'm not sure what you mean by the AC Blower.... the blower contols levels and on and off. The air won't work at all if this goes.. I had it replaced on mine and had an on/off switch put in while the part came in and it cost me 217 bucks. Hope this helps.

Your problems remind me of the time I forgot one last wire when changing engines on a Chevy pickup and I pulled it in two. It was a ground strap from the frame to engine which I didn't see in my haste to the get the job done. After the engine swap and everything was up and running the fuel guage would read full, then empty, then full again. Gauges in unision would peg right and then in left directions. Heater would set it self, and the radio. I was convinced it was possessed.
The farmer I was doing the work for spotted the broken ground strap and wanted that soldered back together as he knew I had a very good soldering iron to do that with. When I finished with the solder, the poltergeists were gone and have not returned. I would suggest you have a missing or loose ground strap somewhere. It might be stuck in your shifter works making it not act normal as well.

Well hello, very descriptive. anyway the 2000 intrigue has a BCM just left of the steering column under dash, but not common to need changing. but the poblems that you mention (sunroof, windows, radio, cruise control, and steering wheel controls,) are all controlled by a system GM calls R.A.P retained accessory power. there is a relay for this behind glove box,. this relay gets its power from the fuse box in the dash. fuse is inadv power bus/rap fuse. this controls the relay. IGN 1 fuse 50A under hood is the power that is switched with it. The BCM does ground out this relay to make it all work.
if you check on the BCM you will find Orange wires in end plug. Test for power they should all read 12 volts. I will almost bet you that the Orange wire at pin K will be dead. that is the inadv power bus/rap, circuit. if there is no power here but fuse is good check for power at fuse. or you can connect a fuse holder with 15 am fuse from BCM pin J to K and presto you should have everything back.

i JUST RECENTLY LIKE SATURDAY WENT THRU MY CAR STALLING OUT ON ME....IT WENT FROM STARTING BUT NOT TURNING OVER, TURNING OVER BUT WOULD CUT RIGHT OFF TO NOT STARTING AT ALL. SO SUNDAY I CHANGED THE STARTER IT STARTED TO RUN WHILE I WAS OUT BUYING THE NEW STARTED I OPT TO BUY A CRANKS SHAFT SENSOR. SINCE MY CAR STARTED RUNNING WITHOUT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR BEING INSTALLED I DECIDES TO TAKE IT BACK TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR IT WON'T HOLD THE START RAN BACK INSIDE AND REPURCHASED MY SENSOR. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT. YESTERDAY I HAD THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR PUT ON IT NO TURNING OVER. MIND YOU MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. WHILE THE MECHANIC WAS UNDER MY HOOD I STARTED THE CAR AND IT CUT OFF AFTER HE PLAYED WIT THE IDLE A LITTEL AND WIT THE OBI I SCANNED MY OWN CAR AND PO102 CODE CAME UP AND ALL I NEED WAS A MAF (MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR) WENT TO PEP BOYS PUT ON THE MAF AND VIOLA BETSY WAS RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP!!!
