Default body control module

I recently sustained water intrusion, ultimately found to involve the air conditioning system, properly diagnosed through the forum. Unfortunately, water did get into the body control module & affected the rear window switch & nothing else. Is there anyway to resolve this without replacing the control module, or do I have to live without the rear window opening anymore? It certainly could have been worse. Thanks guys.

You can open the BCM and ensuring everything is good and dry inside. If it isn't use a blow dryer to dry things out good. Sometimes that's all it takes unless the water was in there for a while in which case you probably have some corrosion on the circuit board. In which case you can try some circuit board cleaner available at any good electronics shop. I think Radio Shack carries a version of it as well. Spray the board down good and dry if off as above and try that.

If none of the above work, you can always get another BCM from the folks at Karshop... they're a supporting vendor here on the Forum.

Bill Curlee may offer some additional ideas... he's the electrical guru for these things and has some great info.

Good luck... GUSTO
