One day while driving the car I noticed the service vehicle soon light was on and I had no dash lights or tail lights so I replaced every fuse in the fuse box and the relays underneath the hood I then still had no tail lights or dash lights so I looked online people said it was the bcm so I took it to the dealer they said they fixed it and nothing still a car with no lights and a service vehicle soon light on and has no codes either I have a code reader.

Your code reader is useless on a BCM. You need a professional scan tool. If you have already paid the dealer to fix this problem, why are you not just taking it right back to them?

Because they want more money and I'm broke now I got the car home and tried to leave for work and it won't stay running it will start then die. I know it has fuel because I checked before I shut it off

Check for a security light flashing. It sounds like the security system has locked you out. That's related to the BCM too. You're going to have to go back to the dealer to get it resolved.
