Default HELP Electrical Prob RDCM code

Help was driving earlier and service abs, traction, and reduced engine power came on. Well it didn't drive any different and my speedometer, tach and batt volt is all that worked. I turned the car off and cleared codes and everything was fine. Well I got in it and tried to roll up windows and passenger side wont roll up, says A1-RDCM-No Comm....what could this be? btw its an 01 z06

Bill Curlee found a wire in the door jam area that will short to the frame. Open the accordian tube and check it out. Look in the electrical sticky at the top for the pictures to reference too.

How is your battery? Have it load tested to be sure. Easy to do and cost nothing. A low or dying battery can cause all types of unusual electrical problems.

Then you need to insulate the offending wire from the frame otherwise it'll happen again
