The answer to all these problems is definitely the body control module, BCM.. It controls every aspect that is giving all the symptoms and complaints. It is a little black box somewhere under the dash. Usually under the steering column on the driver side that has three plugs sometime for plugs that are different colors that are very inexpensive and easy to change and it will solve so many problems that it will be definitely worth the price to fix it. The only issue about changing the BCM is that you have to reprogram your keys to fit that BCM. . But that is not a problem. As long as you can follow the relearn procedure that you may find on other places on the internet that gives you step by step instructions on how you can do it yourself. The BCM's go for around $40 used. Just remember to get the one that matches your car.

Thanks, been busy for awhile. Just did the upper and lower intake job a week ago, put it off long enough I guess. 😆 Hope all is well!

New water pump and metal elbows while I was there too.

The radio will lock the data stream up quite frequently. Pull the AUDIO fuse under the rear seat. See if you get operation back.
