so I was driving today and all of a sudden my power steering went, and my gauges stopped working and so as the AC, then i notice all of the options where you can see your coolant temp were all showing 0 or nothing at all, can anyone help me with this? I Tried the battery pull for thirty minutes and still nothing. also when I turn the key the car doesn't start until about the third try, and I notice that the alarm security symbol on the dash is always lit even while the car is on, does anyone know what can cause this?

bump for some help, I'm wondering now if it is a ECU problem..

denlou

Probably your body controller since it's affecting so many things but not affecting your cars ability to run.

PS - Don't be a douche and bump your own post 20 minutes later...

I looked it up, I guess you are talking about the BCM, my question is, does it have to be programmed specifically to my car? or can I get one from another car and swap it out?

Reseat your ecm connectors sound like one of the connectors might be loose.

Worth a try anyway!

Also reseat relay in under hood fuse box.

If you have alot of junk on your keyring remove them to ,could be a ignition problem.

Another thing every thing you listed recives power through the run crank relay (underhood fuse box)and then goes through the
IP/IGN fuse it 20 amps (underhood fuse box) and then to the BCM to be distributed to the things you listed ,pull both out and reseat them as well!

Don't help the moron who feels the need to bump his post every 20 minutes.

Follow common forum etiquette, we'll see your post whether it's at the top or not; Nobody on here cares how urgent your problem is nor will bumping it help you get a faster response.

Thanks alot Coblats, I will try exactly what u mentioned.

I do not see a Moderator title by your name so your input on the matter is unwarranted.
It is important to him ,his cars not working properly.

denlou

Don't need a moderator title to promote common forum etiquette/courtesy...

Coblasts

Nice of you to bump this thread back to the top for him.

And you spew fourm etiqutte and courtesy while name calling in the thread which is a violation of the same.
You are no better than the poster ,according to your fourm etiquette rants.

I have had mine fixed for this last year. It just did it to me again randomly. I have an 08 2.2 where would I find the ECM connector. Probably a noob question, but I want to learn. Thanks.

Coblasts

Not sure on a 2.2 but on a 2.0 its in front of the fuse box under the hood.

Hey Coblast, thanks for your support, I did the relay resets and my car has been driving perfect for the last week now, Im no tech I would have never guessed to do that.. thanks again for your help.

FIXED!

I am sure someone who thinks they have a electrical problem can try the same thing after reading this post now.
