Power windows would not work after having truck parked for sometime. When i first got it tuned up to get back on the road i noticed power windows didnt work. After checking and changing and adding missing fuses, the power windows worked but the night time running tail lights didn't work. Didnt notice at 1st bc it was daytime. But 1st night drive i found out later than one would like. So turn signals, hazards, brake lights, and reverse lights all work. But not the tail lights. There isnt any fuse directly labeled for this in the cab fuse box or the one under the hood. Anyone know what fuse controls these or could cause these to stop suddenly along with the dash cluster back light illumination stop work after the the first fuse fix to correct the power windows.
$160 for BCM
$300 for dealer to flash the module as it holds the key codes for the anti theft system.
if you want to know exactly what component failed: it is a "Quad High Side Switch" NXP Part number 10XS3435D.
if you know somebody skilled enough to:
1. Open the BCM
2. desolder the 4 connectors holding the BCM boardstack together.
3. Replace the defective IC (REFDES U20 for right rear blinker/brake light problem or U11 for left rear blinker/brake light problem) with an SMD rework station you can save the $300 Dealer labor for flashing the module.
I am currently repairing the original, I will post my work if successful.
