Default BCM Re-Set

Can the BCM be re-set? If so, is this a DIY task or does it have to go to the shop?

Gremlins... I think I have gremlins in it... Seems like the car is losing it's mind... Isn't everything electrical driven from the BCM? I was talking to the guy at the parts counter of the local dealership... Another person there overheard the conversation and mentioned resetting the BCM... They guy behind the counter didn't disagree with him so I thought I would bring it up on the Forum


one thing after another... Now my left front running light/turn signal stopped working again... and my fog light still don't work... the wipers don't lay down at the home position... I don't know what else to do...


I ordered a new multifunction switch as well as a wiper switch... I have yet to put them on. I thought maybe I would try resetting the BCM before I tries replacing the switches to see if there is any differences


I had this car now for 3 years and I just keep having issue after issue... Almost like it's a money pit... Is this normal for C5 to have so many ongoing issues?

Ok, Thanks 8VETTE7... I am grateful your opinions and knowledge... I take all of your comments and recommendations seriously and follow through with them. What do you mean by "drive cycle"?
