Default Incredibly Strange electrical gremlin

Hello All. This is a bit of a weird one, and I think I am the first person to have this exact issue. The video I am uploading will explain it better than i can through text.

I honestly don't know what to say. this has been killing me for months, and I'm nearly at my wits end. any help will be appreciated.

The Car itself drives fine for the most part. Only today did I have an issue where it died on me out of nowhere, but it started back up instantly, both times I was moving at maybe 5 MPH

The Battery is an ACDelco 78SAGM, and the IPC I replaced with a new surrounding bezel (The part that contains the HUD Buttons and DIC Buttons) I bought it in a package with a HUD projector as the HUD was dead when i bought this car.

I've checked fuses related to the BCM, Everything seems fine, nothing blown

Another thing I've noticed but haven't been able to get a video of, is that I'm pretty sure my side mirrors will bug out. there will be times where I hop in the car and have to move them because they are way off.

2001 Coupe, 117263 Mi


Attached below are pictures of the BCM Board, no apparent damage from what i can see.

Looks like a ground issue and exactly which ground or grounds have you checked ??...a visual inspection is not the way but you must load the ground with something like a headlight bulb of a few amps...did you check (load test) G104 under the battery tray ??
