This was the first year with low beam DRLS right? Anyway, really messed up lights going on! awhile ago I swapped in a 07 BCM, into my 04 rado, in hopes of gaining TPMS clusters, without a board swap.
Hasn't been easy! I was keeping it somewhat under wraps, but I cant get the lights to work, right. So I gave up. Just on a road trip for work, tiring to get some research done, so when I get caught up building harnesses I can play again...hehe
I finally got he Air bag light to go out, and the remotes programed, and the vats programmed, and I'm able to enter TPMS programming mode. But the stinking headlamps
I was using a 2007 Canadian automatic BCM. Mines manual, maybe that matters?
-Key on, at night all lights come on, low beams, tails, upper front corner lamps, and they cannot be turned off headlamp button turned, to the left, e-brake set or not? This is shitty because your stuck having all the lights on at night?
-daytime the DRls are allways on, cannot be turned of weather you set the ebrake, or turn to the left to defeat it. I need to wire up the DRL relay wire from the BCM, to the fuse box, and add a realy for DRLS, then choose upper or lower DRLs. But for now I was just using a multi meter, to see weather the bcm was grounding the DRL relay or not.
If I reprogram my PCM with a auto, then the lights worked like this;
at night key on, all the lights are on, upper markers, tails, but the low beams, are off?? WTF?? I could manually turn the low beams on by turning the switch all the way to the right. Turning to the left does nothing, and ebrake set or not, makes no odds. The DRL wire isn't grounded. Ever??
At daylight, key on no lights come on, at all, DRLS never work.
I'm thinking I also need a auto trans, or at least the PNP switch wired up. Or to try a manual trans 07 bcm with auotlocks.
The 04-06 BCMs seemed a lot less pissy about having a auto or manual, they didn't really seem to care! Only trouble I had was, loosing the auto lock feature, going from a auto to manual, the bcm never locks the doors at speeds above 15kph
