Default rear bcm???

As some of you might know, I have been tracking some serious electrical gremilins around since I recently purchased my 97 targa auto. I have gotten the car down to a few codes,
PCM...P1571, P1644; RTD C1780; and BCM B0844. The cars abs/traction control lights are on and after some digging, I found yet another BCM in the drivers rear hatch compartment??

This thing looks like the BCM off of a C4 but it had some corroded plugs, etc that I cleaned but didnt seem to help.
Here is my BCM in the front...

I had did the resinking process, I cleanned the ignition switch, I even cleanned the PCM plugs which were bad...

I am still getting no communication with the TCM...
Any help or leads would be appreciated as to where to look or what to do...

That's the ride control module for your adjustable shocks and whatnot.

cool thanks, those do not work either! I was going to eliminate them. The cpu was swapped out in 08 and I know the dealership did not sync the f45s. maybe thats the problem, I need to get my hands on a tech II for a while.. Anyone with a tech II want to make a road trip to beautiful Punxsutawney Pa????

Looks like that car spent some time in water.

Im gonna say that some of the rusting and water issues had to due with the rear of the car being smashed. It probably sat uncovered or something for some stretch of time. I like vette's theory better about the beer cooler tipping over though. Anyone know where to get a tech II? The nearest corvette dealership is over 80 miles away from here.
