My steering wheel controls for my radio stopped working along with my blinkers, my key fob for unlocking my car, and my battery gauge says my battery is dead. However, when I tested the battery, the battery read at the correct voltage.

All fuses were good. But now my high beams aren’t working and neither are my low beams when set to Auto. They only turn on when I manually turn them on.

Hello,

This sounds like a BCM problem. here is a video to help you scan the CAN system to confirm and the BCM replacement instructions and locations below:

You can get a CAN scanner from Amazon btw. I would check the electrical connector at the BCM for corrosion/moisture.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.
