Default Electrical gremlin may be solved

Been having intermittent electrical problems over the last few yrs. Intermittent no crank, false activation of active handling, abs concerns,and the last yr, no start, no accessories, every time it rains, or even washing the car. I long suspected the bcm module.I had isolated it in a protective covering, installed dessicant bags in the module, and resoldered all circuit board connections.no don't celebrate. I should mention no water is getting in the car. Last time there was a no start, I was groveling in the passenger. Footwell, trying to figure out what the heck was wrong. By this time I had decided it was something other than three bcm. While the key was in the run position, I happened to jar the Footwell fuse box and every thing started working.an epiphany! Sorry this is so long but it's been bugging me for yrs. So I located a good used fuse panel and today I took out the old one and installed the new one using wd40 liberally an the connections and a conductive grease.haven't got it finished, so I could be passing in the wind. But on close examination of the underside of the old fuse panel, I discovered some corrosion on the plugs closest to the floor.I think this was a lousy place for a fuse panel. I'm confident that this will forward x mostof my problems. Just wanted to share this as there may be a few of you chasing gremlins also and this is worth a look. Thank for listening, RH WILLETTS
