Try to reset the on board computer by disconnecting the Negative battery cable for a few minutes and then reconnecting it.
If you're good at removing the cable, remove both cablrs and clean the terminals with a post cleaner & use the wire brush end to clean out the center of the cables.
Corrosian diminishes energy to the accessories.
Thanks
oh ya did i mention thats about a thosand dollars in parts so far chasing a bug that will not squash
There are tests, called "Pinpoint Tests" to determine if you have some damage in the harnesses related to the PCM or the Datalink connector, or some other component failure, but you'll have to go to a repair shop that knows what they are doing. You could have a short or bad ground in some harness, yes.
But first see if some other scanner can read.
If the bulb is out of the dome, how do you get a light from just turning the switch on???
Good luck.
you will see yellowish/brown discoloration around the relay indicating which relay is the one to replace. I want to say thank you to beachbob for being a stand up guy in helping others in need. I didn't have the $511 for the LCM nor money to "code" the new LCM nor probaly $2oo more for the mechanic all in all arounr $800-900 dollars. I also want to thank Edmunds for a forum like this one.
And we also thank beach_bob for sharing his solution. You never know what solutions might turn out to be a life (and wallet) saver for other owners.

What should I try next?
Are they still available?
I have the box hanging down but am having trouble getting the largest of the 3 harness connectors removed. Any suggestions? Also, when I disconnected the first two harnesses, the lights came on and would not turn off until I replaced the harnesses.
Door locks, rear defogger, interior light and alarm work intermittently. Checked wiring in all 4 doors nothing appears to be broken. No response when jiggled. When it rains all system work.. almost like a short of some kind but unable to locate it. I have played with the actual locking mechanism by locking and unlocking to simulate door opening / closures i did get everything working for a short time.. might have been a fluke. Can it be a computer module that works intermittent? If so what is the name of this module that controls before mentioned. Is there a home test that can be performed to single out the problem..? :confuse:
