Default c5 gremlins

I was driving and heard a swishing sound on the passenger side of the car. I also heard my blower motor making a weird noise. the AC went out and the security light came on and won't go off. Now I'm experiencing intermittent cranking. When it does crank, there is a strange electrical sound coming from the fuse box area. Lastly, there was water on the floor on the passenger side. Please help.

Almost 20 years of reading on this. You need to pull the BCM and get it dried out, and more steps may be required depending on how deep the water was, and the fuse box was impacted. If you do not feel confident doing this, get it to a shop ASAP.

You need to prevent the water intrusion from happening again. Clean the drain from the hvac module. It can be accessed from underneath or remove the battery to access it. Clean the 3 udders on the driver side and the single udder on the passenger side too.

Thank you. Is there a video on removing the BCM on this 2001 C5?

This is an old school forum. You will have to search and read. There is also free service manual somewhere on here if you search. Good luck.
