All interior accessories are not working, including window buttons, navigation system, sunroof, and chair adjustment buttons. Additionally OBD cannot be read annd the cigarette lighter accessory is not working. All fuses under the steering wheel, and fuses and relays under the hood have been checked and replaced as needed. The car turns on and is running, but accessories are not running. Looking to locate and check the BCM and test. Will replace if needed. Looking for support and step by step guidance to access and remove the BCM.

I think there is one BCM but it has three electrical connectors. Good job finding that diagram MECHTRIX. I would check to make sure the ground is good, here is the wiring diagram which shows the ground location and the fuses that run the BCM which I would check for power when the key is on. This guide can help
