Default C6 convertible electrical issues

Ive been having a few electrical issues with my 07 convertible. The first was cruise control not working. Read on forum to put in battery disconnect. That works for awhile. Next,says front left tire is flat. Checked air pressure, no problem. Again, disconnected battery and problem gone for awhile. Now doors won't open from inside. Have to use manual latches to open. Battery disconnect didn't help this one. Got an appointment with local chevy dealer to see if they can re flash bcm. Anyone have these issues and did reflash help or did bcm need to be replaced?

Battery probably going out like he said. Just cause it's only 2 years old doesn't mean anything. Optima batteries are crap since production moved to Mexico and many don't last that long.

Load test the battery, most parts stores can handle the test for free. Then go from there.

My yellow top lasted 6 months before it would no longer accept a full charge.
