The battery keeps draining nearly everday.I realise there seems to be a tsb concerning the BCM. My problem is that I live in the caribbean and have no way of getting the bcm flashed or programmed with upgrades at chevy dealer because there is none close to me. What other option do I have to get this done?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Unfortunately, You will have to purchase a new BCM or have it re-flashed by someone close to you how is capable of performing this. I've attached picture steps below on how to remove and replace the BCM on your vehicle including the TSB notice showing the fault. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hi, our vehicle was working perfectly last night. This morning, we woke up to several issues:
- Front wipers are not working
- Horn is not working.
- Only the rear turn lights work, no front turn lights (it makes this fast clicking sound as if one of the bulbs was out).
- AC is not working, it is not blowing cold air.
- Radiator fans are not working, so we cannot drive it like this.
- The truck does start perfectly though.

I checked the battery with a multi-meter and it reads 12.7 volts. Disconnected it for twenty minutes, then reconnected it and the issues persist. BCM replacement instructions?
