Default Having BCM Problems I Think....Help

Lately I have been having some quirky problems....Sometimes the passenger door wont open, sometimes the radio wont come on, sometimes the seats wont go forward or back...I have replaced the battery with an Optima Red Top, I also keep it on a charger. I have a 3LT package....I need Help......I am thinking replacing the BCM will fix this....any thoughts from knowledgeable tech people out there?.....Thanks in advance!

Honestly....not sounding stupid but do u have a cell phone charger in ure car or anything plugged into it.....I was having same door and such and went to dealer and he said drive a week with nothing electrically plugged into the cig lighter and see if that fixes it....well it stopped just for shitz I plugged it back in (my GPS charger) and it started acting weird again...

The way the mechanic explained it to me is everything electrical in our car when pressed checks for FOB before finishing the act and if it doesn't find the FOB then it ignores ure request...even the freakin radio he said....so my attempt to fix this was I took my chargers I plug into my car I took aluminum foil and wrapped it and then electrical taped over the foil and I haven't been getting issues....apparently crappy cheap electronics mess with our FOB signal unless u put the FOB in the key hole in the glove box...
