Wiggled, squeezed, shoot, applied pressure etc etc to these connectors and ZERO inpact on guages coming on. Sprayed some CRC mass airflow cleaner down keyhole as instructed and it didn't do the trick either. The guages etc just come back randomly OR after sitting for a few hours it always works at start up and for a few miles. ANY ideas????????? Ignition switch????

Default Found this under passenger seat by BCM



This is result of my mechanic and engineer friend "fixing" my wiring issue. Is this a cause for concern? Two of the wires arent even attatched to anything????

Default Issue seems resolved.

For two full days since I have worked on the car I have had zero instances of guage shutdown and window locking which had previously become a guarantee per trip. Removed battery for about 20 minutes, repositioned the nut in the positive terminal as it had become wedged at an angle . Reattatched the positive cable at a more direct and secure position and made sure to prevent the rubber from pinching between as it was naturally doing. Also re anchored the battery as it was sitting freely before. Also found a handful of fuses that were not fully pushed all the way in and rectified that. Since then, zero issue . Not sure what the fix was but im content.
