Default Another BCM Question

I searched this site and can't seem to find a list of what signals the BCM needs to wake .
I was hoping to find the list of signals ,where they come from and where they go into the BCM and possibly wire colors .

Maybe somebody with the factory manual can post up the wiring diagram, I do know that the door open sensor is one of the things that wake"s up the BCM.

Just a question to anyone who might know ,I bought a used BCM ,same year and same BCM number .I know it needs to be flashed ,but when I leave it hooked up and let car sit ,go back and open door and the new (used one) will not wake up either .I have to pull fuse and reinsert it to get it to come on .So it kind of does the same thing my original one does .
Is this just a flash issue also ?

Did you follow these directions yet?
1. Turn on the key for 11 minutes.
2 Turn off the key for 30 seconds.
3. Repeat 1&2 two more times.
4. Turn on the key for 30 seconds.

You could have a bad door sensor, does it wake up if you open the passenger side door?

yes I did .have a bunch of codes but car starts and I get a message 80mph is top speed ,service soon .
But when I shut it off and come back later it won't wake until I pull and re install fuse. .Same as original BCM .
Now it's got me wondering if it's something else .
